LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) " Three dozen boxing referees and judges who officiated at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics have been barred from working at further world-level events until an investigation is completed. The international boxing association said Thursday the 36 referees and judges should be ineligible to officiate at events it organizes. No details were given of how many referees and judges were affected, or a timetable for possible sanctions. On Thursday, AIBA said it was looking to disband its system of certifying referees and judges for top championships. Current AIBA rules have five judges scoring each fight, but a computer randomly throws out two of the scores.
