The World Boxing Organisation has hit back at reports saying it had stripped Imane Khelif of her Olympic gold medal, branding them as "obviously false".
Claims had begun to surface online that Khelif had been stripped of her medal and 'banned for life' by the WBO over the weekend. But with Khelif being an amateur boxer, the WBO would have no jurisdiction to do so - and they scotched said reports on Saturday evening. WBO legal counsel Gustavo Olivieri, Esq. added: “Any report stating otherwise is obviously fake and ill intentioned.”
