PARIS :The International Olympic Committee executive board on Wednesday recommended withdrawing recognition of the International Boxing Association over its failure to meet a set of reforms, the Olympic body said in a statement.
The IOC suspended the IBA in 2019 over governance, finance, refereeing and ethical issues and did not involve it in running the boxing events at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.The decision now only needs the rubberstamping of an extraordinary IOC session, to be held remotely and set for June 22. "The report establishes that the IBA has failed to fulfil the conditions set by the IOC... for lifting the suspension of the IBA’s recognition."
In an IBA report sent to the IOC recently, the association blamed the Olympic body for intransigence and false statements.
