Taiwan women’s boxer Lin Yuting stopped in the top four of this year’s World Championships and was supposed to win the bronze medal, but was disqualified a few days ago because of “abnormal gender biochemical index before the match.” In this regard, the Sports Administration has grasped the preliminary details and expressed support. At the same time, I hope that the Chinese people will give the players and coaches a little time, and will explain to everyone as soon as possible. And Lin Yuting’s mother admitted that her mood was affected, but said helplessly: “There is no way, I have to face it when I see it.”
On the evening of the 25th of this month, the women’s 57kg award ceremony was held. The bronze medal should have been received by Lin Yuting, but was replaced by the organizer International Boxing Association (IBA) and replaced by Staneva Svetlana Kamenova from Bulgaria. It was Lin Yuting who failed the gender test before the competition on the 16th, and the blood biochemical test was abnormal.
In response to the disqualification of the bronze medal qualification, Zheng Shizhong, director of sports, made two points of response:
1. At present, the Sports Administration has grasped the preliminary details of this case. The Sports Administration hopes that after Lin Yuting returns to China, the National Training Center will first discuss with the players and coaches in detail. her support.
2. At this stage, the psychological support for the players is more important than anything else. I hope the people of the country can understand and give the players and coaches a little time, and make sure that after full communication, the sports department and the association will explain it to the outside world as soon as possible.
In addition, Lin Yuting’s mother Liao Xiuchen revealed that her mood will inevitably be affected, and she will encourage her as much as possible. When Lin Yuting returns tomorrow, she will pick up the plane and meet with the coach to understand the situation.
