Olympic boxing body AIBA has reassigned its French executive director Karim Bouzidi to a new role, a day after announcing that some judges and referees had been dropped from the tournament at the Rio Games. It said in a statement that Franco Falcinelli, AIBA’s most senior vice-president and European Boxing Confederation president, would take over operational responsibilities for the Olympic competition which ends on Sunday. Bouzidi was not named directly in the statement but an AIBA official confirmed he was the executive director referred to.
