LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP)—The International Boxing Association has suspended
Romania’s federation and senior Thailand officials for breaking disciplinary
rules, but allowed the two countries’ fighters to continue competing.
The governing body, known as AIBA, says it barred Romania from international
amateur boxing for two years because suspended leader Rudel Obreja continued in
office.
AIBA says Thai federation president Taweep Jantararoj is suspended from all
duties for two years. Other Thai officials got one-year bans from international
boxing.
AIBA says suspensions don’t apply to athletes, coaches, referees and judges.
Romania and Thailand are among 13 members which challenged AIBA president Wu
Ching-kuo before his re-election last year.
