The International Olympic Committee has defended its position as a second boxer who previously failed a gender eligibility test prepares to compete on Friday. Taiwan's double world champion Lin Yu-ting is scheduled to compete on Friday at 2.30pm against Sitora Turdibekova of Uzbekistan less than 24 hours after Algeria's Imane Khelif won her opening Olympic bout in just 46 seconds against Italian Angela Carini.
' She added that it was strange 'that there can be a suspicion, and far more than a suspicion, of an unfair and potentially dangerous contest for one of the contenders at the Olympics, an event that symbolises sporting fairness'. Algeria's Olympic committee has previously condemned the 'baseless' attacks on Khelif.
