The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is facing legal action due to allowing boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting to compete in the 2024 Olympics. Khelif's participation sparked controversy as she allegedly failed a gender eligibility test in 2022. The International Boxing Association (IBA) says the IOC disregarded their ban on Khelif and Lin, claiming it denied opportunities to deserving female athletes. IBA President Umar Kremlev criticized the IOC's actions, stating they undermine the integrity of women's sports. He also highlighted the support IBA is providing to its boxers involved in the lawsuits.
