"Lin won gold in the 60kg category on Wednesday at Taiwan's National Games in her first event since the Olympics. A photo posted on Lin's Facebook Stories showed the boxer smiling and holding a gold medal. It was good. We just did the preparations we were supposed to do, her coach Tseng Tzu-chiang said, confirming it was Lin's first official event since Paris. Lin had planned to compete at the world championships in Liverpool in September and agreed to undergo a compulsory genetic sex test, Tseng said."
"Despite submitting her results to World Boxing, Tseng said Lin had not yet received a response, putting on hold her participation in future international competitions. It depends on whether the result comes out. If it does, there will be many international events we can take part in, Tseng said. Under World Boxing's newly introduced policy, fighters over 18 who want to participate in the women's category need to take a one-off PCR (polymerase chain reaction) or medical equivalent genetic test. Twelve boxers were reportedly barred from competing in Liverpool, including the five-member women's team from France, after they missed the deadline for test results to be submitted."
