The International Boxing Association (IBA), encouraged by the decision of the US President, Donald Trump, to veto the transporters trans of female competitions, will file a complaint against the International Olympic Committee (COI) for allowing and Lin Yu -Ting (Thai, -57kg) participated -and earn the gold medal -in the Olympic Games of Paris 2024.
It went from its competitions because they had not passed gender eligibility evidence. But because “women were born, they had a passport as women and had always competed as women” and the eligibility tests of the IBA were carried out in a “so defective” process that it was impossible to take into account.
The two fighters won the gold medal in their respective categories. “The IBA is going to file an official complaint with the Switzerland Attorney General Stefan Blätter, in relation to the actions of the IOC that facilitated the participation of these non -eligible athletes,” the IBA said Monday, the agency chaired by the Russian Umar Kremlev and suspended by the IOC for multiple financial and sports irregularities.
“According to the Swiss legislation,” adds the IBA, “any action or omission that supposes a risk to the safety of participants in the competition justifies an investigation and can serve as a basis for a criminal process. In addition, similar complaints will be filed before the general prosecutors of France and the United States. ”
The boxing entity adds that the executive order issued the week by Trump to exclude trans women from female competitions “proved that it was firmly acted, of unfair competition.” Kremlevo encouraged the boxers to be considered harmed by the COI decision to take legal actions against its president, Thomas Bach, its sports director, McConnell Kit, and their respective teams and offered to pay the legal expenses.
“This is a clear violation of human rights, an outrage to boxers, and simply a crime that must be punished accordingly. In my personal opinion, Thomas Bach should assume all the responsibility for this, since I was in command when it occurred, and you have to compensate for the damages caused, if the court or any other instance dictates it, ”said Kremlev.
