The List

For elite athletes, getting a chance to compete at the Olympic Games is often the pinnacle of their career. Some may reach this glorious height just once, while others make it to multiple games and earn medal after medal (looking at you, Simone Biles and Michael Phelps). It goes without saying that getting to this point takes a lot of work and years of training. What's more there are strict rules Olympic athletes are expected to follow to make sure their conduct is fair. While some errors can earn athletes nothing more than a figurative slap on the wrist, there are other infractions that have serious consequences. Every now and then, a scandal arises that proves even top-tier athletes make mistakes that can totally derail their careers.

The Paris Olympics are facing questions about the decision to allow two boxers to compete in the women’s division after they were disqualified from the 2023 World Championships. 

Those questions only intensified Thursday when one of them, Imane Khelif of Algeria, forced her opponent, Italy’s Angela Carini, to withdraw 46 seconds into their opening-round bout. 





Khelif and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan failed gender eligibility tests at the world championships in New Delhi and were disqualified by the International Boxing Association (IBA).

Would it be accurate to say that they probably never even heard of race walking?
