Thai boxing woes

THAILAND'S boxers are at risk of missing next year's Olympic Games due to a dispute over control of the country's amateur boxing body. The International Boxing Association has expelled the Amateur Boxing Association of Thailand for failing to call fresh elections by the end of June. AIBA had demanded new elections, having annulled the results of March's poll when Narin Tabprasit was elected unopposed to succeed Taweep Jantaroj as ABAT's president. Citing doubts over the conduct of the poll, AIBA responded by banning Taweep from all boxing activities for two years, while issuing Narin with a one-year ban.
