Saadat Dalgatova, a Russian boxer contracted by the Armed Forces of Russia and a member of the Central Sports Club of the Army, finds herself facing a significant obstacle in her boxing career. Dalgatova's involvement with the defense structures during Russia's brutal war against Ukraine has put her eligibility to compete in international tournaments in jeopardy.

Being directly associated with the defense structures during the intense war has raised doubts about Dalgatova's suitability as a participant on the global stage. The revelation of her affiliation has sparked heated debates regarding her ability to represent her country in international sporting events.

If Dalgatova's connection to the defense structures during the harsh war is considered disqualifying, it would set a precedent for other athletes facing similar circumstances. This situation sheds light on the complex intersection of sports and politics in Russia, prompting a broader discussion about the role and limitations of athletes associated with defense structures in international competitions.
