PARIS (Reuters) - Bulgarian boxing coach Borislav Georgiev said the gender debate engulfing the Paris Olympics had spilled over into the ring and influenced judges into awarding Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting a win over Svetlana Kamenova Staneva in Sunday's quarter-final fight.
Lin and Algeria's Imane Khelif have been at the centre of a social media storm in Paris due to them being disqualified at the 2023 World Championships after falling foul of unspecified International Boxing Association gender eligibility rules.
