The 25-year-old Algerian won women’s welterweight gold in Paris at the Parisian Games.
The test was conducted by the Russian-led IBA. The Russian-led IBA was later stripped of the body’s status in which the IOC operates a world over issues of integrity and governance.
At the time, the IBA said Kerif “didn’t meet the eligibility criteria for participating in women’s competition.”
The IOC questioned the validity and reliability of the IBA test and said it could not be relied on.
The IOC was responsible for hosting boxing competitions at the Parish Games.
Kerihu and Taiwan’s Lin Yu Ting, also banned by the IBA, were both allowed by the IOC to compete in the Olympics.
The pair’s gold medals overshadowed boxing in Paris, attracting scrutiny and criticism from around the world.
Keriff said her team is now reviewing the situation and will take legal action to protect her rights.
The IOC says the IBA statement is “another example of the IBA’s campaign against the IOC.”
The Swiss Attorney General’s Office confirmed it had received the IBA complaint.
