IOC President Thomas Bach said the “hate speech” directed at boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting at the Paris Olympics is “totally unacceptable.”
“We will not take part in a politically motivated … cultural war,” Bach said at a news briefing Saturday at the midway point of the Paris Games, where he wanted to draw a line under days of global scrutiny about the female boxers’ gender.
you dont have google in your country?

you want to force the women with normal testosterone levels to get beat up by her? top gentleman move!
The “evidence” at that link is:
Which is quite convenient indeed. Especially since they don’t even say what that “recognized test” is or who administered it.
Also-
So I assume this means men with low testosterone have to compete with women, right? Also, you must not have noticed that they were explicitly not given testosterone tests. Your link literally said so.
dream on. you fight the good fight. let her beat up all the boxing women in your country.they should stay out of olympia and wba. sport is about fairness. i do not care what men with low testosterone do, i care about women that get beaten unfairly in the olympics.

I never claimed to be an expert at anything.
You say there should be fairness. How do you make it fair? What test do you do to ensure it’s fair? That’s what I want. But your response seems to be to insult me rather than explain it, so I’m guessing you don’t actually have an answer to this, you just think that “fake” women shouldn’t get to compete as women.
So, again, how do you make it fair? How do you weed out the “not women” from the women?
again, as wba says: testosterone levels. thats how. nobody says she is a fake women. all i say is she should not compete as it is not fair.
It was specifically announced that Khelif was not tested for testosterone by the IAB. They did not say what the test was, only that it was not testosterone.
So then I guess it was acceptable for her to compete.
no. thomas bach lied. he said he had no other information. wba said they informed ioc multiple times. the ioc is just scum.
But… She has lost fights to other women in the past. So she’s evidently not beating up everyone.
not true. she lost when she wasnt even 20. so yeah when she was a kid grown women had a chance. so fair. i now fully understand your point: it is a reflex and you can not be rational.
If you’re accusing other people of irrationality, maybe stick to the facts. Her last loss on her amateur boxing record was 2 years ago, when she was 23. Here’s a tweet by Amy Broadhurst who beat her then: https://x.com/amybroadhurst12/status/1818687351582789680
She seems pretty clear that she thinks Khelif is a good boxer but certainly not so absurdly strong that she’s unbeatable no?
lol. did you read it? she said it is not cheating, she was born this way. to me this implies that also the winners think imane should not box. they even emphasized cheating. also you have no idea how boxing works, right? point system and so on? get lost.
Are you dense? She literally says
Clearly indicating that she thinks there’s no danger or that there’s an obvious advantage that Khelif has that others don’t have. She emphasized cheating because that’s what morons are accusing Khelif of.
If she thought Khelif shouldn’t box she would have said so. She explicitly didn’t.
I think you need to work on your reading comprehension.
Of course, it’s boxing being “beat up” is what happens. Should the last placed contestant get another go becase they got beatup?
Unless the governing body want to separate contestants based on t levels, or how many pubes on their labia or some such, like a weigth class, then yes, if they can’t handle it and are going to lose that badly, go do gymnastics or whatever.
No ones forcing any if these people to compete, so they only one forcing them to be beat up is themselves.
