The scandal involving the participation of male girls Imane Khalif and Li Tan in the boxing tournament of the Olympics caused a reaction in the United Nations as well.
In a special report to the world organization, 67 scientists called on the International Olympic Committee to save women’s sports from the presence of competitors with male chromosomes, which, after all, is quite dangerous for the health of normal ladies.
The report emphasizes that modern chromosome tests are gentle and cannot offend anyone or affect their dignity. A discharge is simply taken from the cheek.
It is emphasized that already in 1996, more than 87% of the surveyed female athletes at the Atlanta Olympics wanted to be checked for chromosomes.
In Paris, the IOC admitted the two female boxers, who according to the international federation should not compete since they are genetically male. Both won gold medals.
The Bulgarian Olympic Committee was one of those who tried to do something about it, but the IOC medical commission directly stated that even if we make complaints, nothing will be done. However, now there is scientific evidence that our Olympic Committee was right.
The scandal is actually because of the war between the boxing federation and the IOC, which has been going on for years. The latest episode was the letter to the National Olympic Committees, in which it is requested that all local headquarters be excluded if they do not switch to the new structure, which was made in opposition to the Russian President Umar Kremlov.
However, everyone is waiting for the new leadership of the IOC, which should solve the problems of one of the most popular sports.
