(Reuters) - World Boxing said its eligibility policy does not prevent Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting from participating in its events after the Olympic champion was reportedly withdrawn from a tournament over her gender eligibility.

Lin, one of two boxers at the centre of a gender dispute at the Paris Olympics where she won the women's featherweight gold medal, was set to compete in the World Boxing Cup Finals in Sheffield, England which began on Wednesday.
