- The French women’s boxing team was barred from the Liverpool World Championships due to delayed mandatory gender test results.
- World Boxing implemented compulsory genetic sex testing for female competitors aged 18 and over at the event.
- Since 1994, such tests have been heavily restricted in France, forcing the team to conduct them in England.
- The French Boxing Federation condemned the late results, calling the exclusion unfair and deeply disappointing for the athletes.
After an entire year of work we find ourselves thrown out not for sporting reasons but because of disastrous and unfair management.— Maelys Richol, one of the five boxers affected, expresses her frustration over the decision to exclude the French women's boxing team from the world championships.
