"Lin Yu-ting, who was the subject of gender controversy along with Algerian Iman Kellyff at the Paris Olympics, participated in the World Boxing Cup in Sheffield, England," Al Jazeera said on the 28th. "Lin Yu-ting tried to compete in an international competition for the first time since the Paris Olympics but failed to stand in the ring."

The competition is hosted by World Boxing, which was founded in 2023, with about 55 member countries, including Taiwan. "Lyn Yutting meets all qualifying criteria as a woman, and she successfully participated in the women's boxing competition at the Paris Olympics and won the gold medal," Taiwan's sports authorities said in a statement, criticizing "World Boxing lacks a clear regulatory policy that protects the rights of athletes like the International Olympic Committee (IOC)." Lin said in the UK, "We have suggested that we are willing to undergo a comprehensive medical examination, but World Boxing has not accepted it."

Taiwan's sports authorities and coach Lin Yu-ting explained, "We have decided to withdraw from the tournament to prevent further damage."

Lin Yutting became the subject of gender controversy at the Paris Olympics, along with Kelif. At the Paris Olympics, Lin won gold and was called the "daughter of Taiwan" by Taiwanese media and the Taiwanese president.
