AIBA fully endorses IOC Ethics Programme
03 October 2016Following the IOC’s recent investigation into violations of the Olympic Code by three boxers during Rio 2016, AIBA President Dr Ching-Kuo Wu has underlined his support for the Disciplinary Commission’s findings with the development of a new educational programme for National Federations and their boxers.
“AIBA has always been acutely aware of its responsibilities to preserving the Olympic values and codes of conduct within our sport and we are fully behind the IOC’s statement regarding the boxers in question. The actions of a very small minority at Rio 2016 have shown that what we believed to be a very clear message still needs some reinforcing: that betting on bouts by boxers is unacceptable, and certain behaviours need to be eradicated” said AIBA President Dr Ching-Kuo Wu.
