- Lin Yu-ting beats Svetlana Staneva in Paris
- Staneva’s coach hits out at ‘circus acts’ and ‘dirty’ tactics
Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan became the second boxer at the centre of a gender eligibility row to be assured of an Olympic medal in Paris after a testy bout with her Bulgarian rival.
The 28-year-old beat Svetlana Staneva, 34, by unanimous decision but it was an ugly fight after which the coach of the losing athlete suggested Lin should not have been allowed to compete.
