As one of the monuments of the Chinese Taipei Boxing, Lin Yu Ting has encountered one of the rare incidents. After receiving the test sample from Lin Yu Ting, the organizers concluded that she violated the gender standards. They determined that she was a male due to testosterone levels (male sex hormones) exceeding the permitted level.

This is a really unfortunate information for Lin, who has twice the world championship and twice the Asian championship in his career. In previous tournaments, she all overcame hormone tests and was concluded as female.
The same scene with Lin Yu Ting is Imane Khelif, Algerian boxer. A few hours before the final, she was also concluded as men for the same reason as Lin Yu Ting. The Organizing Committee deprived Khelif's right to play, and the boxer of the boxer who lost to her in the semi -finals was Janjaem Suwannapheng (Thailand) to compete in the final.
