Bottom Line

The only purported evidence for the claim that Khelif is trans comes from an undisclosed test performed by an allegedly corrupt sports governing body that may have shown she has a DSD condition. The IOC has said Khelif meets its requirements for participation, with Adams, the IOC spokesman, specifically clarifying, “This is not a transgender issue.”

Because Khelif is not transgender, claims attempting to make her victory against Carini an issue about transgender rights or “woke” politics are without basis.

    You started a tirade against someone without any evidence available yet.

    IBA claimed that she was ineligible due to some unspecified test they did. Perhaps they will disclose tomorrow.

    Everything points out that this ban was political to protect a Russian boxer who lost to her. Khelif fought for many years she also lost 9 times to other women, but just that one time when she fought to Russian boxer she got disqualified by organization that itself got disqualified for corruption and ties with Kremlin.

      Why start with some conspiracy theory? Why are some people so much against talking about this issue. I got banned just bringing it up. Everybody here thinks the best action is to ban all mention of the issue and pretend it doesn’t exist.

            Then you surely agree that we should be questioning their integrity in this matter, right?

            Also consider there have been no other transgender-related controversies around these olympics except for the two initiated by the IBA.

              The tests and results are confidential for a reason.

              The whole idea of a conspiracy to affect one boxer in the woman’s category doesn’t make sense.

                except where IBA is involved… hmm…

                The whole idea of a conspiracy to affect one boxer in the woman’s category doesn’t make sense.

                TWO boxers. please explain your reasoning, you can’t just assert something like that with nothing to back it up. you’re just being a denialist.

                    IOC has evidence and banned them. That is evidence.
