Lin Yu-ting Won't Compete in Worlds Amidst Gender Testing
Lin Yu-ting, a boxer, won't be at the upcoming World Boxing Championships.
She and another boxer, Imane Khelif, had to take gender tests to compete.
Although Lin reportedly submitted her results, she won't be competing.
This is because her association didn't get a response back in time.
Both boxers had faced eligibility issues before, but were cleared to compete in the Olympics.
Khelif has also challenged the testing rule.
Lin Yu-ting, Olympic gold medalist, will not compete at the World Championships.
Taiwan's boxing association submitted Lin's gender test results.
The association cited no guarantee of eligibility as the reason for her absence.
