IOC’s Bach dismisses boxing controversy as ‘culture war,’ but a correction highlights complexities of issue

New York Times  

Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee, told reporters on Saturday that two women in the boxing tournament who have had their eligibility questioned did not have differences in sex development. The boxers, Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan, have always competed in women’s divisions, and national and international officials have said their passports and birth certificates identified them as female. This is about a woman taking part in a women’s competition and I think I have explained this many times,” Bach said during a news conference Saturday morning.

Bach added the IOC would not take part in what he called a “politically motivated, sometimes politically motivated, culture war.” Bach’s comments came several hours before Khelif was scheduled to fight against Anna Luca Hamori of Hungary.
