LAUSANNE: Employees of the International Boxing Association (AIBA) were locked out of their offices on Wednesday with president Wu Ching-Kuo set to be ousted from his role, according to an Agence France-Presse journalist. A notice pinned to the door and signed by an interim executive committee said that a motion of no confidence had been called against Taiwan’s Wu. “Dear AIBA employees. Please be informed that the AIBA executive committee have passed a motion calling for a vote of no confidence in the current AIBA president, Wu Ching-Kuo,” the notice said. After receiving a number of assurances over these sticking points, “the IOC released the AIBA payment (from the 2016 Rio Olympics) which had been held back,” the IOC told AFP.
