00:00Taiwanese Olympic gold medalist boxer Lin Yuting will not be competing at the World Boxing

00:05Championships in Liverpool later this month. Her team says they submitted gender eligibility

00:10tests to world boxing as required by new rules, but the organizing body did not confirm her

00:15eligibility in time. Lin faced controversy at the Paris Olympics last year after being falsely

00:27Boxing Association that she had failed gender tests in 2023. Taiwan's government insists Lin was

00:33born a woman, and the International Olympic Committee said she was fully eligible to compete.
