    Hold on, her testosterone levels are known? I haven’t come across them. What are they?

      “Higher than average.” Hence the upper body muscles being larger that average for a female boxer.

      It isn’t rocket surgery.

            Oh, they must just have gotten her “hIgEr ThAn AvErAgE” testosterone results from the Olympic village psychic. I must have been silly to assume that saying it’s higher than average meant someone tested rather than you just pulling bullshit out of your ass.

          Why would they ever make that known to the public. Would be a huge invasion of the competitors privacy. Kinda weird.
