The Bulgarian Olympic Committee came out with a strong position against the participation of two boxers in the women’s tournament, who did not pass the gender eligibility tests.
"The Bulgarian Olympic Committee (BOC) once again raises the topic of strict observance of gender eligibility in the Olympic Games. We are concerned about the participation of Imane Khelif from Algeria (66 kg) and Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan /57 kg/ in the women's boxing tournament at the Games in Paris. Some time ago, the two boxers did not pass the gender tests and were suspended from participating in women's boxing tournaments and now inexplicably how they are in the program of the Olympic Games in Paris among women," BOC point out, adding:
"We are firmly determined to defend the rights not only of the Bulgarian, but of all female athletes who will be potentially harmed by the participation of representatives of the opposite sex in women's competitions. In addition, we express our concern for the health of female athletes, as it has been scientifically proven that men's punches are much stronger than women's and can result in severe injury and permanent trauma."
