    The London 2012 Games results are not under question only the qualification for those games by Turkish athletes is being scrutinised.

    The Rio Olympic results are being heavily scrutinised and are proven to have been manipulated!

    Hopefully this investigation leads to real change in AIBA and we get to see medals given to those who were robbed of them.

    Wow. I wonder if there's really a danger of no Olympic boxing in 2024

    There was a change in 2021 wasn't there? The AIBA or whatever they're called didn't run the tournament. I thought the scoring was pretty good from what I saw.

    I thought the scoring was really bad in the Tony Yoka v Filip Hrgovic fight in 2016. The latter appeared to win comfortably but the decision went to Yoka. On the other thread, they're complaining about the Tony Yoka v Joe Joyce result. Perhaps there was something up in the Super Heavy division in 2016?

    I thought AJ got a gift against Savon in the first round in 2012 but looking after the home fighter is something that often happens in Olympic boxing to maintain interest in the tournament.
