Also, I finally found out the reason Kickboxing had its event program halved by the IWGA.
Excerpt from WAKO President’s letter to national federations informing about the 2022 World Games: “WAKO has been restricted to participating in one discipline, K-1 rules, in 3 male and 3 female weight classes, for a total of 48 Athletes. The reason for only 48 atlhetes is a direct consequence of ONE positive doping test at the last World Games in Wroclaw. We all have a responsibility to eradicate doping in sport, so I ask that you take specific measures to educate and improve the situation in your respective countries.”
