Abstract

The International Boxing Association (IBA) has announced that it will award a purse to boxers who win medals at the Paris Olympics. The purse will be divided between the athlete, the national federation, and the boxer's coach. The IBA plans to hold a special awards ceremony for the medalists and will pay out the prize money once the athletes pass doping tests. However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is unhappy with this arrangement and has suspended the IBA and removed boxing from future Olympic programs. A new federation, World Boxing, has emerged as a potential replacement for the IBA. [Extracted from the article]
