Yeah that's true, there was some shocking ref decisions in the 2016 Olympics especially, Michael Conlan getting beat by a Russian fighter was one of the worst and also Katie suffered from a bad decision that year, both of them went pro after that (probably because of that)

…the IBA are a Russian body…(…I believe, but I might be incorrect about that…)…and have had ‘bias’ levelled at them…and yeah, it just all adds to the confusion of it all…
