PARIS — The second boxer at the center of a global debate over gender eligibility and fairness at the Paris Olympics won her semifinal match Wednesday, ascending to the featherweight gold medal bout. Lin and another female Olympic boxer, Imane Khelif of Algeria, continue to face intense scrutiny and false accusations about their gender and eligibility to compete with women. The Bulgarian Olympic Committee later confirmed that Staneva was boasting about having XX chromosomes in an attempt to mock Lin. "The opponent is a respectable one.”Algeria's Imane Khelif reacts after defeating Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng in a women's 66-kilogram semifinal boxing match at the Olympics on Tuesday. Some who initially criticized Khelif and Lin apologized as more information about them and the IBA’s legitimacy came to light.

“I need hardly say if we start acting on suspicions against every athlete of whatever, then we go down a very bad route,” he said. And partly data-sharing of this is also highly against the rules, international rules.”“The whole process is flawed,” Adams added. Adams confirmed that the IOC received a letter from the IBA that the 3 Wire Sports website reported concerned Khelif and Lin and, it said, was sent in June of last year to Olympic organizers. Adams wouldn’t discuss the letter’s contents but reiterated: “Those tests are not legitimate.”“There was indeed a letter,” he said. The IOC and international sports bodies have isolated Russia because of the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

In a publication in social network X, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez said US officials are not concerned about the human rights of Cubans and that the United States has its own human rights violations.

CNN —Thousands of homes in Haiti have been flooded following heavy rains over the weekend, leaving at least 42 people dead and 85 injured, according to a statement released by the country’s Civil Protection Agency on Monday.
