IBA Files Criminal Complaints Against IOC Over Female Boxers This title accurately reflects the main topic of the article, which is the International Boxing Association (IBA) filing criminal complaints against the International Olympic Committee (IOC) over its decision to allow two female boxers to compete and win gold medals at the Paris Olympics.

IBA Files Criminal Complaints Against IOC Over Female Boxers

The International Boxing Association (IBA) has announced that it will file criminal complaints against the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in the United States, France, and Switzerland. The IBA claims that the IOC's decision to allow two female boxers, Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting, to compete and win gold medals at the Paris Olympics last year may serve as grounds for criminal prosecution under Swiss law.

According to the IBA, Swiss law requires any action or inaction posing a safety risk to competition participants to be investigated, which could lead to criminal charges. The organization plans to file similar complaints with the Attorneys General of France and the USA.

The IBA's decision is rooted in an executive order signed by former US President Donald Trump, which banned transgender athletes from competing in women's sports. The IBA has received funding from Russia state energy firm Gazprom and has a long-standing feud with the IOC.

Historic Feud Between IBA and IOC

The IBA and IOC have been at odds for years, with the IOC taking control of running boxing tournaments at the past two Summer Games in Tokyo and Paris. The IOC has consistently maintained that boxers from Algeria and Taiwan complied with all rules for the Olympic tournament, while the IBA has disputed this.

Sensitivity Surrounds Transgender Athletes

The issue of transgender athletes competing in women's sports is a sensitive one, sparking debate about potential safety risks to female competitors. While the IOC has stated that Khelif and Lin complied with all rules for the Olympic tournament, Trump has spoken out against what he sees as an attempt to allow two men (his words) to compete in women's sports.

Stricter Rules Ahead

Top-tier Olympic sports such as track and field, swimming, and cycling have already implemented rules excluding athletes who went through male puberty from competing in women's events. World Athletics is also moving towards adopting stricter regulations.

In the meantime, the IBA has offered free legal advice to female boxers considering pursuing cases against IOC President Thomas Bach and other senior Olympic officials. This development is likely to be a major talking point in the sports world for some time to come.
