Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting and Algeria’s Imane Khelif both set to miss boxing’s world championships amid ongoing gender row.
Taiwanese Olympic boxing gold medallist Lin Yu-ting will not compete at the world championships starting this week, despite reportedly submitting her gender test results.
Lin and Algerian boxer Imane Khelif were at the centre of a major gender dispute at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where they won titles in separate weight classes.
World Boxing said last month that women wanting to compete at the championships in Liverpool on September 4-14 would have to undergo mandatory gender testing under its new policy.
The 29-year-old Lin had agreed to undergo the testing, her coach Tseng Tzu-chiang said at the time.
