In the women's 66kg boxing match at the 01 Olympic Games, Italy female boxer Carini announced her retirement after 46 seconds of the match, saying that her opponent Algeria's Khalif had unfair competition.

Live broadcast 08/02 The Olympic women's 66kg boxing match was controversial, and Italy female boxer Carini announced her retirement after only 46 seconds of the match, citing unfair competition.

It is reported that her opponent Khalif from Algeria was once disqualified by the International Boxing Federation for failing the gender test because she was found to have an improper physical advantage and failed the gender test, and was canceled and banned from the 22 World Championships, but the International Olympic Committee gave her the green light to participate in accordance with the old rules.

In addition, there is also a Chinese Taipei player, Lin Yuting, who failed the gender test.

Joint statement from the Paris Olympic boxing team and the International Olympic Committee:

Everyone has the right to practice sport without discrimination.

All athletes competing in boxing at Paris 2024 will be subject to eligibility and participation rules, as well as all applicable medical regulations set by the Paris Boxing Competition Unit (PBU). As in previous Olympic boxing competitions, the gender and age of the athletes are based on passports.

These rules also apply during the qualifying tournaments, including boxing matches at the 2023 European Games, Asian Games, Pan American Games and Pacific Games, ad hoc African Qualifiers in Dakar (Senegal) in 2023, and two World Qualifying Tournaments in Busto Assizio (Italy) and Bangkok (Thailand) in 2024, with a total of 172 different boxers from 1471 National Olympic Committees, boxing refugee teams and individual neutral athletes taking part, 2000 Multiple qualifiers.

The boxing competition team of the Paris Olympics has developed the rules of the Paris Olympics based on the boxing rules of the Tokyo Olympics. This is to minimise the impact on athletes' preparation and to ensure consistency between Olympic Games. The rules for the Tokyo Olympics are also based on those that followed Rio 2016, before the IOC revoked its recognition in 2023.

We saw misleading information in the report about two female athletes competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics. The two athletes have competed in the women's division of international boxing competitions for many years, including the Tokyo Olympics, the International Boxing Association (IBA) World Championships and international boxing federation sanctioned competitions.

The two athletes were victims of the sudden and arbitrary decision of the International Boxing Federation. Towards the end of the 2023 International Boxing Association World Championships, they were abruptly disqualified without any due process.

According to the minutes of the meeting, this decision was made only by the Secretary General of the International Boxing Association, which was approved by the Council of the International Boxing Association after the fact, and only then requested that the procedures to be followed in similar situations in the future be established and reflected in the Regulations of the International Boxing Association. The minutes also state that the International Boxing Federation should "establish clear procedures for gender testing".

The current discussion of the two athletes is based solely on this arbitrary decision, which was made without any due process, especially considering that the two athletes have been competing at the top level for many years. This practice is contrary to good governance.

The eligibility rules should not be changed in an ongoing competition, and any changes to the rules must follow proper procedures and should be based on scientific evidence.

The IOC is committed to protecting the human rights of all Olympic athletes in accordance with the Olympic Charter, the IOC Code of Ethics and the IOC Human Rights Strategic Framework. The IOC is saddened by the current mistreatment of the two athletes.

The IOC revoked its recognition of the International Boxing Association in 2023. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) also confirmed the decision to revoke recognition. The IOC has made it clear that it needs national boxing federations to build a consensus around a new international federation in order to include boxing as a sport at the Los Angeles Olympics.
