News summary

Imane Khelif from Algeria and Lin Yu-Ting from Taiwan, both previously disqualified from the 2023 Women’s World Championships for failing gender eligibility tests, have been cleared to compete in the women's boxing events at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed that both athletes meet the eligibility requirements, despite concerns raised over their testosterone levels and genetic testing that indicated they have XY chromosomes. The International Boxing Association (IBA), which initially disqualified them, no longer governs Olympic boxing, and the IOC's rules have been deemed more lenient. The athletes have contested the disqualifications, with Khelif claiming it was part of a conspiracy against her. Khelif is set to fight Italy's Angela Carini, while Lin will compete against either Marcelat Sakobi or Sitora Turdibekova. The situation has reignited discussions on gender eligibility in sports, particularly concerning the implications of biological sex on competition fairness.
