The president of the International Boxing Association (IBA) said that his association “uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretended to be women” using DNA tests.
Umar Kremlev said that the DNA tests “proved” that these boxers “had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded from the sports events.”
Speaking after Thursday’s match, Carini said: “I have always honoured my country with loyalty.
“This time I didn’t succeed because I couldn’t fight anymore. So I put an end to the match.”
