World Boxing President Boris van der Vorst apologized for singling out Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif when announcing mandatory sex testing for all boxers over 18. The new policy, effective July 1st, uses PCR tests to determine sex at birth. Khelif, previously cleared by the IOC, was specifically mentioned in the announcement, prompting the apology. The policy aims to ensure fair competition but has faced criticism.
