Paris Olympics: Taiwan Mulls Legal Action Over Boxing Federation’s Gender Dispute.

Taiwan's Sports Administration objected on Tuesday to the International Boxing Association's (IBA) handling of a gender dispute involving one of its fighters at the Paris Games. They announced that their Olympic committee is considering legal action.

Controversy arose at the Olympics when Algeria's Imane Khelif's Italian opponent withdrew from their match less than a minute in, following a flurry of punches. 

Meanwhile, Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting secured a victory over Bulgaria's Svetlana Kamenova Staneva with a unanimous decision in their featherweight quarter-final on Sunday.
