Imane Khelif.
Lausanne, Switzerland – International Boxing Association (IBA) welcomes the statement of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif on social media about considering legal steps against the organization, as a court would force our organization to reveal two gender tests based on which the boxer was banned from participating in any IBA women’s events.
‘We received great news that the IOC will face the consequences of their decisions, as Imane Khelif is going to proceed with legal actions against the IBA,’ IBA President Umar Kremlev said. ‘We are really glad, as we will be able to prove in court that Khelif, based on eligibility criteria, was not allowed to compete in female boxing events in order to guarantee safety and fair chance to women competitors. We will insist on the forensic medical examination, which will prove our position, and we will communicate the outcome accordingly. Thomas Bach will be personally accountable to the law for what he did.’
IBA is committed to protecting the boxer’s safety and fairness of competitions.
