Taiwan Threatens Legal Action After International Boxing Association Label Lin Yu-Ting As "Male"

Taiwanese sports officials threatened the International Boxing Association with legal action on Tuesday after the organisation claimed a Taiwanese fighter in the Paris Olympics women's competition was "a man". Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting and Algeria's Imane Khelif, both of whom are guaranteed a medal after reaching the semi-finals, are at the centre of a major gender row.
