Professor Richard McLaren, the head of the investigation commissioned by the sport's world governing body AIBA, said the "seeds had been sown" years before.
"Suspicious" bouts included defeats for Great Britain's Joe Joyce and Ireland's Michael Conlan.
The investigation indicates there were approximately 11 bouts in total that were "suspicious" - and there "may be others".

"I think it's a huge day for amateur boxing and especially for the guys who suffered in Rio, including myself. It is vindication."
The Belfast brawler then took to Twitter, tagging AIBA boxing, and demanding that they send him his medal.
