    IBA refuses to release the data. Plus they only said it after she beat 2 Russian boxers.

      They can’t release it without Khelif’s permission, so it’s fairer to say Khelif refuses to release the data. And she beat one Russian, not two, then won another match the next day, and another match the next day, and was DQed the next day after the test results were received. And Lin, who didn’t beat a Russian, was also suspended for (allegedly) showing XY chromosomes on a DNA test. And there were 10 other divisions where a Russian lost and nobody was suspended.

      And IBA isn’t even a Russian organization. It’s headquartered in Switzerland and sanctions boxing worldwide. The current president is Russian. The chief executive whose decision it was to suspend Khelif and Lin is Greek. But sure, just blame it all on the Russia boogeyman
