According to the International Olympic Committee, welterweight boxer Khalif was not allowed to participate in the competition due to high levels of testosterone hormone, but now all athletes meet the criteria and conditions for participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Note that Lin Yu Ting will also be seen in action at the Paris Olympics on Friday.
She was also denied a bronze medal at last year’s World Championships when she failed to clear the required qualification test. This decision was not only not recognized by the International Olympic Committee but also against the requirements of justice.
This time the Olympic Committee announced that all boxers are eligible to participate in these events.
On Tuesday, the spokesperson of this committee, Mark Adams, said that these athletes have participated in many competitions over the past several years, they did not appear at once. He had also participated in the Tokyo competitions.
