Suspicion surrounds boxing decisions at 2016 Rio Olympics, says report

, said it had seen the internal AIBA report and emails that showed the body was concerned Bouzidi had influenced the decisions of so-called five-star judges in Olympic bouts.

AIBA’s internal investigation found that Bouzidi had the power to appoint the referees and officials for competitions, but added there was no direct proof that these changes influenced the results of fights. One part of the strategy involved setting up a franchise to take part in World Series Boxing, an international competition aimed at swelling AIBA’s coffers.

“We always played by the rules... We organised events in France so that the athletes could become better known. If the fight was close, it might play in the boxer’s favour if they were better known.Boxing is already facing the threat of expulsion from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
