Boxing group at center of Olympics controversy targets IOC, citing Trump order on transgender athletes

The International Boxing Association said Monday it will file criminal complaints against the International Olympic Committee in the U.S., France and Switzerland.

The Swiss-based IOC allowing female boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting to compete and win gold medals in Paris last year "may serve as grounds for criminal prosecution," the Russian-led IBA claimed in a statement.

The IBA, a boxing body that was at the center of the 2024 Olympics controversy — partly elevated by President Trump and others who falsely claimed Khelif is transgender — has been banished from the Games. It cited an executive order on transgender athletes, signed by Mr. Trump last week, to justify the criminal complaints.
