Original Note:
These boxers were disqualified by the IBA due to elevated testosterone levels, likely due to the fact they were found to have XY (Male) chromosomes. The IOC only tests for doping which is why they are allowed to compete. https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/29/boxers-who-failed-gender-tests-at-world-championships-cleared-to-compete-at-olympics https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/olympics-boxing-gender-sex-test-failed-khelif-lin-b2588048.html
