India, June 5 -- World Boxing president Boris van der Vorst has apologised after Olympic champion Imane Khelif was signed out in an announcement made by the governing body to make sex testing mandatory. The decision comes after Khelif's gold medal at the Paris Olympics last year, where there was controversy over her eligibility.

Khelif's case was specifically mentioned when World Boxing released the policy. According to AP, the body's president wrote to Algerian Boxing Federation, "I am writing to you all personally to offer a formal and sincere apology for this and acknowledge that her privacy should have been protected."

He added, "reaching out to you personally we show our true respect to you and your athletes."
