PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish junior boxing team, which arrived in Armenia for international championship could hardly avoid disqualification, because the youth did not pass the annual health inspection.



"In such cases, teams are not allowed to participate in the tournament. But we did not want to provoke a scandal," vice president of the Boxing Federation Derenik Gabrielyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.



"This is the omission of the coaches," he said.
