The IBA accuses the IOC of turning athletes into “slaves”.

The International Boxing Association (OTHER), where the IOC withdrew its recognitionhave accused the leaders of the Olympic body of “force athletes to be slaves”as well as “attempts to destroy the family of sports and violation of the rules of democracy and transparency.”

The I’M GOING this is the reaction to the decision made this week by the IOC Executive, regarding the exclusion of boxing from the Los Angeles 2028 Games program if there is no “new” federation he can work with between now and then.

“The others strongly condemned Thomas Bach -president of the IOC-, Kit McConnell -sports director-, Nenad Lalovic -leader of the boxing working group- and Pâquerette Girard Zappelli -Delegate of Ethics at the IOC-, since then They continue to put themselves above the sport in pursuit of their own nefarious ambitions and politicized,” IBA said in a lengthy statement.

“The The IOC leadership is again trying to destroy the family of sports and violates all the rules of open democracy and transparency“, he added. “With their statements, the current leaders of the IOC have deliberately created division, uncertainty and instability in the sports community. “These individuals, by their actions, are forcing the athletes to become ‘slaves’ to this ridiculous situation, while the current leaders of the IOC continue to take money from our athletes, who lined their own pockets.”

The one in Paris 2024 will be the second consecutive Games where the boxing tournament and previous qualifiers depend on the IOCand not from the international federation, because of its resistance to solving its management, financing and arbitration manipulation problems. There won’t be a third time, McConnell said Tuesday.

“If we don’t have a new boxing body that will work in collaboration with the IOC, We cannot include boxing in the Los Angeles program” he assured.

The current IBA, headed by Russian Umar Kremlev, “In no way will it be involved if boxing is part of Los Angeles 2028said the manager.

An attempt to create an alternative body to the IBA, World Boxingsponsored by the United States and several European federations, so far there is no recognition in the international sports community.

For others, “the truth is there is no alternative, neither financially nor in terms of organization and experience”.

The statement included statements from the Kremlin, which assured: “We refuse to allow boxing becomes a victim of political agendas. We will maintain the highest standards, even in the face of shady tactics. Our commitment remains unwavering: the future of boxing is not compromised. “We will use all possible legal methods, unlike the IOC, to prove that we are right.”
