The International Boxing Association (IBA) has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This is reported on the CAS website.
“Together with the appeal, the IBA filed an urgent request to stay the implementation of the recommendation until the court makes a decision. The arbitration procedure has begun,” the organization said. It is noted that the order on temporary measures in this case will be published no earlier than June 21.
On June 7, the IOC executive committee recommended that the recognition of the IBA, which is headed by Russian Umar Kremlev, be withdrawn. This decision was made because the association did not fulfill the necessary conditions for the restoration of membership. At the same time, boxing was recommended to be kept in the program of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The IOC has threatened to remove boxing from the 2024 Olympics program after reports appeared in the media that the IBA had extended its contract with Gazprom. Prior to this, the IOC suspended the IBA from qualifying for the Tokyo Games. Boxing competitions were also not included in the program of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
