'Very sad to see terrible treatment of boxers' - HRW
'Very sad to see terrible treatment of boxers' - HRW
Human Rights Watch told Reuters on Tuesday, August 8, that it was 'very sad to see terrible treatment' of female boxers, Algeria's Imane Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting at the Paris Olympic Games.
The IOC and International Boxing Association have been at loggerheads for days over the participation of Khelif and Yu-ting.
The IBA banned them midway through last year's World Championships following a chromosome test, citing gender ineligibility, but the IOC has allowed them both to compete, saying they are women.
The IBA press conference, which has triggered a protest by Taiwan's sports administration, was initially organized to provide evidence of the tests conducted on the two boxers but instead caused more confusion.
