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.

    Again, you’re calling me dishonest when I have done nothing but provide the information and guided you to key points within it to make your own due diligence easier. A lack of which is becoming more and more obvious the more you ad hominem instead of reading. Testosterone is not the only thing checked in the doping guidelines if you follow the chain of references.

    And based on all of that, you have decided that she is a man.

    I also have clearly not decided she is a man, hence my use of ‘she’ as pronoun many times in the past comments. Please improve your reading comprehension and critical thinking skills as your hostility is patently unfounded when all I’ve argued is that both of them did not full heartedly appeal which strongly suggests the disqualification is on solid grounds they agreed to beforehand.

      Cool. So she can compete with other women whatever the test says. We’re in agreement.

          I appreciate it. However, in this case, based on their history, they look like just a new user to lemmy.world. They may have a different account for .ml though.

          How would she not be competing fairly if she’s a woman?

            They were tested and found to violate the rules they agreed to which in my book means to compete unfairly.

              Which rules did they violate? How do you know the test was fair?

                The rules stipulated in the contract. It was fair because they both agreed to them like everyone else does.
