Lin Yu-ting was excluded from last year's world championships but has passed the IOC's eligibility tests and is listed as female in her passport.
Boxer Lin Yu-ting, whose participation in the Paris Olympics has generated much rancor focused on her gender, has won her latest bout against Sitora Turdibekova of Uzbekistan.The Taiwanese boxer, a two-time world champion, was disqualified from the women's IBA World Championships last year after failing to meet the now-unrecognized International Boxing Association's gender eligibility criteria.
''Towards the end of the IBA World Championships in 2023, they were suddenly disqualified without any due process,' a joint statement from the IOC and the Paris 2024 committee said.'The current aggression against these two athletes is based entirely on this arbitrary decision, which was taken without any proper procedure—especially considering that these athletes had been competing in top-level competition for many years. Such an approach is contrary to good governance.
