The International Boxing Association (IBA) on Monday said that two fighters participating in Olympic women’s boxing failed a gender chromosome test. The IBA held a press conference to address the controversy surrounding Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan and Imane Khelif of Algeria. Despite both boxers previously failing IBA gender tests, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has permitted them to fight against biological females and has repeatedly issued statements claiming Yu-ting and Khelif are women, and the testing is of no concern to the IOC. IBA CEO Chris Roberts said during the presser that test results for the fighters “demonstrated the chromosomes we refer to in competition rules that make both boxers ineligible.” Roberts further explained that Khelif and Yu-ting were informed that they tested for XY chromosomes and were given the opportunity to appeal the findings to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The IBA, he said, offered to pay the majority of the appeal; Yu-ting did not appeal, and Khelif appealed initially but then withdrew the appeal. ?HAPPENING NOW?

Some journalists appear to be arguing with Dr. Filippatos, demanding he further clarify whether Khelif and Lin were born female. “The blood result looks and says, the laboratories, that these boxers are male.” pic.twitter.com/lgs1vxPeb4 — REDUXX (@ReduxxMag) August 5, 2024 The IOC, though, is standing by its position to allow the boxers to fight women. “These athletes have been competing in senior competitions for six years with no issues,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said, according to ESPN. “These women were eligible for this contest, remain eligible for this contest and compete in this contest.” “I cannot tell you if they were credible or not credible [gender tests] because the source from which they came was not credible and the basis for the tests was not credible,” Adams continued. “For that reason there was no consideration of whether they were correct or not correct because they had no bearing for the eligibility of boxing here.” Khelif and Yu-ting have made it to the semifinals and are guaranteed to medal after quickly defeating female challengers.

You never know when you’ll cross paths with a future Olympic athlete. Odds are, Michael Jordan had no idea what Katie Ledeck’s future would hold when they first met. At the time, the future swimmer was only a toddler. But at this point, Jordan had already earned two Olympic medals himself — both of which were gold. With Ledecky continuing to break records left and right, a wholesome video of the two of them interacting has gone viral. It seems that the clip takes place in a luxury box at a sporting event. There are quite a few people there, but Jordan and Ledecky are the ones who stand out. That’s because Jordan attempts to play a game of peek-a-boo with Ledecky! Meanwhile, she couldn’t care less. Instead, she’d rather focus on something much more important: the popcorn she’s eating! Watch this sweet moment in the video below. @bleacherreport Yes, that is a video of Michael Jordan playing peek-a-boo with Katie Ledecky (via @Katie Ledecky) #olympics #michaeljordan #basketball #swimming ♬ original sound – bleacherreport Okay, so Ledecky does crack a smile at the end. Plus, it’s clear she was rather amused by Jordan’s silly antics the entire time anyway. Either way, it’s crazy to think about the fact that none of them had any idea what that talented tot’s future would hold! Michael Jordan and Katie Ledecky Crossed Paths in the Best Way When She Was Just a Baby You may be wondering: Why was Ledecky around Jordan when she was a baby? Turns out, her uncle, John Ledecky, was a co-owner of the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards. More specifically, he held this role when Jordan became a minority owner of those two teams as well. How cool is that? “Bro everything [Jordan] touches turns into championships,” one fans writes in the comment section of the video, with another person adding, “Proof that no one can stop Katie Ledecky.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
