The International Boxing Association, AIBA, has suspended the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation, IABF alleging possible manipulation in its recent elections. However the IABF has denied the charge, insisting that the process was transparent. The development, which has left the IABF stunned, comes within a few days of the International Olympic Committee suspending the Indian Olympic Association. In a statement, the AIBA said that its Executive Committee Bureau yesterday decided to provisionally suspend the IABF because they had learned about possible manipulation of the recent IABF's election. It further said that the AIBA will now investigate this election and especially a potential political link between IOA President, as former Chairman of the IABF, and the IABF election.During the September elections, outgoing President Abhay Singh Chautala, who was elected IOA President despite IOC's suspension, was retained in the body as nominated Chairman of the body. The development now also puts a question mark over Chautala's election as IOA President since he came into the fray as an IABF representative. His brother-in-law and BJP MLA from Rajasthan, Abhishek Matoria, was elected as the new IABF President.
