IBA President Calls for Stripping Khelif's Olympic Gold
A boxing official wants a gold medal taken away from a boxer named Imane Khelif because of a test result.
The test showed something that might mean she shouldn't compete in women's sports.
The official blames the former head of the Olympics for letting her participate.
The official says that the former head made decisions for political reasons and not for the athletes.
The official also supported the decision by the USA that separates women's and men's sports.
IBA President Umar Kremlev demands the IOC strip Imane Khelif of her Paris 2024 gold medal.
Kremlev cited Khelif's failed gender test results as the reason for his demand.
Khelif's tests showed XY chromosomes, leading to disqualification from IBA events.
Kremlev accused former IOC chief Thomas Bach of allowing Khelif's participation despite the controversy.
Kremlev criticized Bach's decisions as politically motivated.
