Olympic gold medalist Lin Yu-ting has been cleared to compete in the female category at World Boxing events, the sport’s governing body confirmed Friday.
Lin, 30, was embroiled in a high-profile gender-eligibility controversy alongside Algeria’s Imane Khelif during the 2024 Paris Olympics-where both won gold.
World Boxing introduced mandatory sex testing for female competitors last year, prompting Lin to skip the world championships. She has not competed internationally since the Games.
The federation now confirms Lin meets eligibility requirements and will compete in the Asian Boxing Championships in Mongolia from March 29 to April 10.
"We appreciate the way they have approached the appeal process and their acknowledgement of World Boxing's requirement to ensure that its eligibility policy... has been correctly implemented," the organization said.
