CAS Keeps Khelif Ban in Force as Appeal Proceeds, Lin Yu-ting Out of Worlds

The court said filings are underway after World Boxing imposed a one-time SRY PCR screen for the female category in May.

Overview

  • CAS confirmed Imane Khelif’s Aug. 5 appeal and dismissed her request to pause World Boxing’s decision, leaving her ineligible for events during the case.
  • Khelif is asking to compete at the Sept. 4–14 World Boxing Championships in Liverpool without taking the mandated genetic test.
  • The tribunal said the parties are exchanging written submissions with a hearing to be scheduled subject to their agreement.
  • World Boxing’s policy requires a one-time PCR test detecting the SRY gene for athletes aged 18 and older seeking entry in the women’s category, and the federation apologized for naming Khelif when announcing it.
  • Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, whose federation says test results were submitted, will not travel to Liverpool for the championships, according to the Taiwan boxing association.
