Lin Yu-ting cleared to resume boxing after eligibility review

Olympic gold medalist Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan has been cleared to compete in the Asian Boxing Championships after a review of her sex eligibility by World Boxing. Both Lin and Algerian boxer Imane Khelif faced scrutiny over their biological sex after winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which led to a debate on eligibility standards. World Boxing’s new policy requires a one-time genetic test, with Lin’s association confirming her female status since birth. Khelif is also looking to return to competition and plans to make her professional debut in April.
