Emil Gurbanaliyev and Sergei Krutasov have officiated at Paris Olympics . Gurbanaliyev and Sergei Krutasov were both stood down in 2021Two boxing judges that were deemed to be at high risk of manipulating fights have officiated over 20 bouts between them at the Paris Olympics so far.
They had previously been removed from the referees and judges pool at the AIBA World Championships in Serbia in October 2021 after they were randomly selected for integrity testing by Professor Richard McLaren, who exposed state-sponsored doping in Russia. The IOC has organised the boxing at the Games, with the International Boxing Association having been stripped of its recognition last year amid various concerns.
There have been concerns over some of the scorecards in Paris, with Team GB of the belief that four of their five first-round fights were incorrectly judged.
