Olympics to be hit by legal action over Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting after Donald Trump’s ban on trans women in sport THE International Olympic Committee is facing a lawsuit for allowing Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting to compete at the 2024 Olympics.
"Despite notifying the IOC about the disqualification of Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting, the IOC disregarded this critical information, allowing both athletes to compete in the Qualifiers and ultimately at the 2024 Olympics, where they secured gold medals, denying opportunities to deserving female athletes.
"As a result, IBA is filing an official complaint with the Attorney General of Switzerland, Mr Stefan Blatter, regarding the IOC's actions that facilitated the participation of these ineligible athletes in the 2024 Olympic boxing tournament in Paris.
IBA chief Umar Kremlev said: "President Trump’s order to ban transgender athletes from women’s sport validates IBA’s efforts to protect the integrity of female sports.
And in light of Donald Trump's executive order preventing transgender women from competing in female sports in the USA, the Russian-backed organisation has decided to take legal action against the IOC.
