The Algerian, 25, won women’s welterweight gold in Paris<\/a> at the Paris Olympics, a year after being disqualified from the World Championships for reportedly failing gender eligibility tests.<\/p>\n

The tests were conducted by the Russian-led IBA, who were later stripped of their world governing body status<\/a> by the IOC over integrity and governance issues.<\/p>\n

At the time the IBA said Khelif “failed to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in women’s competition”.<\/p>\n

The IOC questioned the legitimacy and credibility of the IBA’s tests, saying they could not be relied upon.<\/p>\n

The IOC was responsible for running the boxing competition at the Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n

Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, who was also banned by the IBA, were both cleared to compete at the Olympics by the IOC.<\/p>\n

The pair’s gold medals overshadowed boxing at Paris and attracted scrutiny and criticism from around the world.<\/p>\n

Khelif said her team was now reviewing the situation and would take legal action to protect her rights.<\/p>\n

The IOC has said the IBA statement was “just another example of the IBA’s campaign against the IOC”.<\/p>\n

Switzerland’s Attorney General’s office confirmed it had received the IBA’s complaint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
