Former American swimmer Riley Gaines recently made her stance clear on the appeal to strip Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting of their medals after a ruling by the International Olympic Committee. Gaines was one of several activists who had criticized the organizers of the Paris Olympics for allowing the two boxers to participate despite the controversies around their gender identity.Gaines previously shared an update on the IOC ruling, which has nearly cleared the way for the ban on the participation of trans athletes in women's sports, though it wouldn't be implemented before the end of 2026. She shared her thoughts about the decision on her X account [formerly Twitter].Riley Gaines shared the images of the aforementioned boxers on her X account as she wrote in the caption,"Male athletes are now banned from competing in Women's category at Olympics. Cool. Now strip these dudes of their gold medals & issue an apology to every woman who was cheated and brutally beaten."When an X user objected over associating them as trans athletes, Gaines responded by sharing the comment and writing in the caption, "Correct. They're men. Men are now banned from the women's category."For the uninitiated, Imane Khelif is an Algerian boxer who is the reigning Olympic champion in the welterweight category, while Lin Yu-Ting is a Taiwanese boxer who won the gold medal in the featherweight category at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Both boxers had been disqualified from the 2023 World Championships due to controversy over their gender identities.However, after the International Olympic Committee took over the administration of World Boxing for the Paris Olympics, the boxers were allegedly cleared of the charges and allowed to participate in the Paris Olympics.When Riley Gaines reacted to the World Boxing declaring mandatory sex testing for female category Riley Gaines reacts to the World Boxing ruling [Image Source : Getty] Riley Gaines previously shared her thoughts on the World Boxing ruling ahead of the inaugural edition of the World Boxing Championships, which were held in Liverpool, England.
