U.S. President Trump recently signed an executive order prohibiting male transgender athletes from participating in women's sports, and mentioned Algerian boxer Kellief and Chinese Taipei boxer Lin Yuting, who won gold at the Paris Olympics last year, and the International Boxing Federation (IBA), which has been removed from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), also mentioned Trump's remarks on the 10th and said that it would take legal action against the IOC.
Trump was previously invited to appear on a professional wrestling show in the United States, but during the interview, he secretly criticized Lin Yuting and Kellief as "transgender" and became women.
In a press release, the IBA noted that due to the gender eligibility issues surrounding boxers in 2022 and 2023, the IBA conducted all necessary tests and banned female athletes deemed unqualified, but the IOC ignored this message and allowed Keliff and Lin Yuting to compete, and both ended up winning gold medals, disqualifying the female athletes who deserved to compete.
The IBA mentioned that they have filed a complaint with the Swiss Attorney General, alleging that the IOC allowed these ineligible athletes to participate in boxing events at Paris 2024. In addition, IBA has also filed similar complaints with the Attorneys General of the United States and France. IBA President Kremlev bluntly said that Trump's order to ban transgender women from participating in the competition proves that the IBA's efforts to protect the fairness of women's sports are justified.

Kremlev further encouraged those boxers who were affected by the IOC's permission to allow Kelif and Lin Yuting to participate in the competition to file a lawsuit against IOC President Bach and sporting director McConnell, and said that the IBA would provide free legal assistance to these boxers, and the press release even harshly criticized: "This is a clear violation of human rights, and it is a humiliating crime for female boxers." ”
Lin Yuting was involved in a gender storm at the Paris Olympics last year, and Taiwan, China, including the Sports Administration, the Boxing Association, and the International Olympic Committee have endorsed Lin Yuting, emphasizing that she was born as a woman and has always participated in women's events. After defeating China's Yang Liu in the gold medal match at the Paris Olympics, Keliff called herself a woman in an interview.
