An Olympic boxing referee from Turkmenistan has been expelled from the London Games over his handling of a bout in which the result was overturned on appeal. Boxing's governing body, known as AIBA, says referee Ishanguly Meretnyyazov 'is on his way back home'.
Boxing will no longer be part of the World Combat Games and the international federation is also leaving the SportAccord umbrella organisation.
