I was baffled when media reported that Algeria is a member of the IBA


The Algerian Boxing Federation released a statement stating they officially left the IBA over a year ago.

The question remains, which countries still engage their board and recognize it? Most I am checking has either been suspended or left.

Huh!! Reporters need to fact check more. This reminds me of when i was watching a collection of early cinema, back then in late 1800's America boxing was illegal!!

@SW-User Was it illegal because it made rich people cry unlike golf?

@Miram That's a better reason than what was probably the case, humans are sick twisted contradictory and full of shadows and mirrors, to hide the vacancy within!!

Now that this matter is under the spotlight, hopefully the president, board or even the IBA as a whole can be targeted by the next package of EU sanctions.

The same reason Carini didn't disclose she was friends with Imane and used to train and compete with her, unofficially.

She was a tool for the IBA to trash the olympics since they been kicked out for corruption. She was clearly promised a compensation for the dramatic performance.

Did you watch their press conference yesterday?

They didn't answer single question from journalists. They said they will organize a press conference to share the tests and medical records. They made journalists from all over the world wait for hours. Then microphones wouldn't work. The IBA leader was blabbering in russian without proper translator irrelevant nonsense about how upset he was on video call...and the journalists confronted them and said they were intentionally wasting time.

Speaking English & knowing basic skills of using a computer are considered the modern definition of literary. How is he a leader of anything is beyond me..

@Miram Thanks for doing this. I agree with you that this is a plausible situation. The IBA is certainly motivated to embarrass the IOC.
