Lead

The I.O.C. dismissed the matter, believing it to be a minor issue.

An IOC official said: "Our anti-doping system has been very successful, and the Chinese swimming team is the team that has undergone the most doping tests during the Paris Olympics.

Since January this year, more than 600 tests have been carried out, all of which have been negative. ”

In addition, the IOC has also countered the gender of the athletes in some of the events in the competition.

These events include women's middleweight and middleweight boxing, women's uneven bars, and more.

The IOC has debunked these doubts and reiterated that athletes should follow the gender and age information on their passports.

Regardless of the gender identity of athletes, everyone should have the fundamental right to participate in sports competitions in an environment free from discrimination.

The IOC's refutation of rumors.

During the Paris Olympics, the Chinese swimming team frequently achieved good results in competitions, but it was questioned by the United States and the West.

However, as the schedule progressed, the performance of the Chinese swimming team became more and more impressive, and even achieved large-scale victories, so doubts about the performance of the Chinese swimming team also intensified.

The United States and the West believe that there is a doping reason behind the results of the Chinese swimming team, and have made remarks on this, saying that the results of the Chinese swimming team are unfair.

However, the IOC dismissed this and considered the matter to be a minor issue.

An IOC official said: "Our anti-doping system has been very successful, and the Chinese swimming team is the team that has undergone the most doping tests during the Paris Olympics.

Since January this year, more than 600 tests have been carried out, all of which have been negative. ”

After this statement, the IOC's support for the Chinese swimming team has also been highly recognized by all parties.

However, in addition to the questioning of the Chinese swimming team, there is another incident that has also caught the attention of the IOC.

The incident involved the gender of some of the competitors in the tournament, including female boxers from Italy.

AFP reported that during the World Boxing Championships in July 2023, a boxer in Italy was kicked to the ground by his opponent.

After the bout, the kicked-down athlete reflected on the injury: "I've really never had such a sharp pain that I was going to blow my head out."

The passage attracted the attention of the media, and people began to question the gender of the Italy boxer and raised questions about her eligibility.

Therefore, the media immediately raised the issue with the IOC, arguing that the Italy female boxer was actually a man.

However, the IOC did not respond to this question, instead reiterating that all boxers must follow the eligibility rules and participation rules, and must compete according to the gender and age information on their passports.

The IOC also stressed that it is very normal for boxers to get injured during competitions, which does not indicate that there is a problem with her gender.

Even the Italy female boxer herself corrected and refuted the news, saying that her gender information was accurate.

Doping tests.

At the 2023 World Boxing Championships, the IOC also dealt with some of the things that happened during the competition.

IOC Vice President Ströfna praised the World Boxing Championships and announced that two athletes would be disqualified.

The two athletes are Kazakh women's boxer Alginbayeva and Moldovan women's boxer Makhamitova.

In addition, the IOC has restricted the qualifications of seven athletes after the World Championships: Sandov from Argentina, Zamili from Algeria, Mahamitova from Moldova, Alkinbayeva and Albieva from Kazakhstan, Hamra from Norway and Milou from Spain.

The gender of the seven athletes has been of great concern to the IOC, which has investigated and reviewed their eligibility.

It is understood that the seven athletes will be suspended from participating in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which is a further step taken by the IOC on its gender issues.

However, it is worth noting that although the seven athletes were disqualified from the 2023 World Championships, they can still compete in the 2024 Paris women's boxing competition.

On the other hand, the IOC praised the Chinese swimming team's anti-doping system after it was questioned about whether it violated the rules during the Paris Olympics.

The Chinese swimming team has been tested more than 600 times since January, far more than any other country or region participating in the competitions hosted by the International Swimming Federation.

For example, in countries such as United States, Australia and United Kingdom, the proportion of swimmers in the Chinese swimming team has reached 70% of the number of swimmers tested.

An IOC official commented: "Our anti-doping system has been very successful.

In addition, the Chinese Swimming Association also responded to this on social media, expressing its strong support for anti-doping efforts and establishing a zero-tolerance mechanism in the Chinese swimming community.

Giving a voice to athletes.

But the man's gender wasn't the only problem, there was another accident during the game.

At the 2023 World Championships, an Italy female boxer was kicked to the ground during a match, and after the match, the kicked athlete recalled the injury: "I really have never experienced such severe pain, even my head was going to be blown out."

The passage attracted the attention of the media, and people began to question the gender of the Italy boxer and raised questions about her eligibility.

Therefore, the media immediately raised the issue with the IOC, arguing that the Italy female boxer was actually a man.

However, the IOC did not respond to this question, instead reiterating that all boxers must follow the eligibility rules and participation rules, and must compete according to the gender and age information on their passports.

The IOC also stressed that it is very normal for boxers to get injured during competitions, which does not indicate that there is a problem with her gender.

Even the Italy female boxer herself corrected and refuted the news, saying that her gender information was accurate.

During the Paris Olympics, the Chinese swimming team performed well in swimming events, winning a total of 10 gold medals, 5 silver medals and 4 bronze medals, a total of 19 medals, ranking first in the medal table of major countries.

However, in the total number of medals in swimming, the Chinese team ranked second with 8 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze medals, behind the United States team.

In other events, the Chinese team did not perform well and faced some doubts.

However, as athletes under the age of 18, the Chinese swimming team has made great efforts in anti-doping, and even more rigorously than athletes from other countries.

However, on social media, the organizers of the event did not speak out, causing the news to cause an uproar.

In response to these questions, the referee of the incident, Algenlin, said in response: "I and the other referees always kept enough attention during the game.

We definitely know what we're doing and we are responsible for the legitimacy of the results. ”

The incident has raised concerns about the gender of athletes, and the IOC has clarified the issue, emphasizing that athletes should strictly abide by the rules of the event and participate in the competition according to the gender and age information on their passports.
