Original Note:
After the 2023 World Boxing Championship, Lin Yu-ting failed an IBA gender eligibility test whose "specifics remain confidential." Her bronze medal was given to a Bulgarian. The IBA's olympic status was revoked by the IOC in 2023 due to judging and refereeing corruption. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/08/01/olympics-italys-carini-quits-seconds-into-boxing-match-against-algerian-khelif https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/29/boxers-who-failed-gender-tests-at-world-championships-cleared-to-compete-at-olympics https://www.skysports.com/olympics/news/12183/13189126/olympics-2024-ioc-says-it-is-saddened-by-abuse-boxers-are-receiving-over-arbitrary-gender-row
