Thomas Bach has stood by his committee\u2019s decision to clear for competition two boxers at the center of a gender eligibility controversy<\/strong><\/p>\n

International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach on Friday said he is not aware of a \u2018scientifically solid\u2019 way to distinguish a man from a woman, defending the body\u2019s decision to allow two boxers whose gender eligibility has been disputed to take part in the women\u2019s boxing championship.<\/p>\n

Bach\u2019s words came in response to a question about whether the IOC would consider reviewing its gender identification guidelines in light of the controversy surrounding a pair of boxers, Algerian Imane Khelif and Taiwanese Lin Yu-ting, being allowed to take part in the Games as women despite previous allegations that they are actually biologically male.<\/p>\n

According to Bach, while the IOC \u201cwould be more than pleased to look into\u201d<\/em> the situation, it does not have a way to probe the gender claims of either athlete at this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have said from the very beginning, if somebody is presenting us with a scientifically solid system how to identify men and women, we are the first ones to do it. We do not like this uncertainty,\u201d<\/em> Bach stated, adding that chromosome testing is not enough to scientifically distinguish between men and women \u201canymore.\u201d<\/em> He noted also that \u201cit is not possible\u201d<\/em> for the IOC to make its decisions based on \u201csomeone saying this is not a woman just by looking\u201d<\/em> or \u201cby falling prey to a defamation campaign by a not credible organization with highly political interest.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The latter comment appears to be a jab aimed at the International Boxing Association (IBA), which disqualified both Khelif and Yu-ting from the World Championships last year after they \u201cfailed to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women\u2019s competition.\u201d<\/em> The two bodies have been at odds in recent years.<\/p>\n

Boxer at center of gender controversy wins Olympic gold<\/a><\/p>\n

In a statement released at the end of July, the IBA reiterated<\/a> that \u201cthe athletes\u2026 were subject to a separate and recognized test [which] indicated that both\u2026 were found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The gender controversy at the Paris Olympics sparked heated debates globally after Khelif beat Italy\u2019s Angela Carini in the preliminary rounds at the Olympics in a bout that lasted a mere 45 seconds. The incident raised questions<\/a> as to the fairness of allowing biological males to compete with females.<\/p>\n

Last week, IOC spokesman Mark Adams claimed that all competitors approved for the Games \u201ccomply with the eligibility rules,\u201d<\/em> and cast doubts on the IBA tests. The IOC previously explained that Khelif and Lin Tu-ting had been cleared for the Games due to being \u201cwomen according to their passports.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Several hours after Bach\u2019s press briefing, Khelif won Olympic gold after defeating China\u2019s Yang Liu in the welterweight final in Paris. The outcome sparked a new wave of heated debate online, with some social media users expressing support for Khelif, while others lambasted the IOC and called on it to strip the athlete of the award. Many also ridiculed Bach for his recent remarks, noting that there are a variety of genetic tests and accusing him of \u201cgaslighting<\/a> the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
