Filippatos  was speaking during a press conference on Tuesday alongside IBA's Russian chief Umar Kremlev and Chief Executive Officer Chris Roberts, where they attempted to clarify why his association threw out Khelif and Yu-ting from their World Championships last year. 
The press conference descended into chaos amid technical errors, language barriers and raised tempers. Filipatos explains further,“ I try to say that the medical result, blood result, looks and the laboratory says that these boxers are male. 
This is the problem now we try now to say I see the results so  we try now to say why it has happened like that you are understand me. We are not against Khelif she is a very good boxer.”
