Original Note:
The International Boxing Association (IBA) stated Imane Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-Ting both failed a 'series of DNA tests' which proved them to have male 'XY chromosomes', which resulted in their previous disqualifications. The IOC chose to let them fight anyway. https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-previously-disqualified-female-boxers-xy-chromosomes-return-compete-women-s-events-paris-olympics-2024#google_vignette
