Governance
Inquiry into AIBA
Will there be boxing in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020?
On 30 November, the IOC Executive Board (EB) decided to initiate an inquiry into AIBA after having analysed a progress report detailing its current situation regarding governance, financial management and sporting integrity.
The EB also decided to maintain previous decisions such as freezing all contacts with AIBA (except he ones on the working level which are necessary to implement the respective IOC decisions) and suspending any financial payments to AIBA.
The EB also adopted the following measures:
• Freeze the planning for the Olympic boxing tournament at Tokyo 2020
• Prohibit the use by AIBA of the Olympic properties for any communications/
advertising and/or promotional materials
• Lift the freezing of Olympic Solidary funding for athletes, on the condition that no
funding can be applied for or paid through a national boxing federation
The IOC Executive Board makes all efforts to protect the athletes and ensure that a boxing tournament can take place at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 regardless of these measures.
