PARIS — Two female boxers at the Paris Olympics were disqualified at the 2023 world championships after being judged to fail gender eligibility tests. The International Olympic Committee says the women have complied with all rules to fight at the games. Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan and Imane Khelif of Algeria are competing at their second Summer Games. Both finished outside the medals at the Tokyo Olympics held in 2021. Both were removed from their competitions in New Delhi last year. The world championships are run by the International Boxing Association which was banished from Olympic boxing by the IOC before Tokyo.
