 will boycott both world championships held by the IBA this year. Governance issues, along with the IBA’s decision to let BLR/RUS boxers compete with their flag and anthem, cited as mains factors for the boycott.

There will be much bigger problems if boycotts extend to continental multi-sport events. I’m not sure how many of those events are overseen by the IBA still, but boycotts could leave Olympic qualification a mess (assuming the sport is still on the program at the end of the year.)

I don't think have the IBA have any part in the Olympic qualifying system (same as Tokyo)

Are they not governing some of the multi-sports games tournaments? I thought they still had a hand in some?
