Original Note:
IBA disqualified the both athletes for "failure to meet the IBA eligibility criteria" without specific reasons, citing athlete privacy. Although IBA mentioned conducting DNA tests to exclude athletes attempting to impersonate women, but they did not specify who was excluded. https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/two-disqualified-failing-meet-eligibility-criteria-world-champs-2023-03-26/ https://tass.ru/sport/17370249
