The [scandal-plagued] International Boxing Association (IBA) [the amateur federation excluded from the Olympic movement because of prior corruption allegations] released a statement that it is committed to "upholding the integrity of female sports." In the wake of an executive ordersigned by United States president Donald Trump banning transgenders from competing outside of the gender they were assigned at birth, the IBA announced it is filing an official complaint with the Attorney General of Switzerland, Stefan Blätter. The complaint will be filed against the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for facilitating the participation of boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting in the women's division. [It should be noted, neither of these boxers are transgender. It seems, although is not officially confirmed, that both were intersex and raised as women their entire life. Both won Olympic gold medals at the 2024 Paris games].

Ihe IBA argues that: "according to the Swiss law, any action or inaction that poses a safety risk to competition participants warrants investigation and may serve as grounds for criminal prosecution. In addition, similar complaints are to be filed with the Attorneys General of France and the USA."

IBA President Umar Kremlev added, "President Trump’s order to ban transgender athletes from women’s sport validates IBA’s efforts to protect the integrity of female sports. Our actions aim to ensure gender equality in boxing. We urge other international federations to follow IBA’s example, as we are uniquely positioned to address this issue and advocate for our athletes’ rights."

Kremlev further encouraged boxers who were impacted by the IOC’s decision to allow Khelif and Lin to compete in the Paris 2024 qualification tournament or Olympic boxing events to pursue legal action against IOC president Thomas Bach and sports director Kit McConnell. "IBA will provide free-of-charge comprehensive legal support to our boxers in these lawsuits, as this is a clear violation of human rights, an outrage towards the female boxers, and simply a crime that should be punished accordingly. In my personal opinion, Thomas Bach should take the full responsibility for this, as he was in charge when it happened, and he needs to compensate the damages caused, if the court or any other instance rules this," said Kremlev in a press release.
