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.

    What exactly do you think makes you eligible for the women’s competition apart from being a woman?

    Can you find the page in those rules that show which women are excluded from the women’s competition? Because I sure can’t.

      Are you seriously arguing there is no way to be DQ’d from Women’s Competition aside from not being female? Come on.

        Yes, I am arguing that. You show me where in the rules it says ineligibility specifically from the women’s competition and not all competition.

            That is simply a lie. You did not show me the rule. You showed me an appendix which specifically did not say what you said it did, then claimed you were wrong, then went back to claiming it said what it didn’t say.

            Then you showed me a press release which did not show me which rule she broke.

            I have no idea why you’re just outright lying now.

              You are lying. Period. I linked you the ENTIRE RULESET and merely pointed you to Appendix 6 for evidence of the testing and appeals process. Read the entire thing if you care about all the rules.

                You pointed me to something about doping.

                You did not point me to the rule that excluded women from women’s competition but not all competition.

                You can do the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” thing all you like, but you did not show me that rule.

                  I’m not going to. Read the entire document, and follow up on the ADR once you know what that is (hint: it is linked in the rules I already gave you), and then the Prohibited List if you really want a comprehensive list of everything not-testosterone that can get you banned from women’s competition. Until then, you being uninformed only weakens your argument, not mine.

                    I’m going to ban you for misinformation, gaslighting, and trolling.

                    Before I do, I wanted to explain why you’re so completely wrong.

                    ADR Article 2.1 through Article 2.11 - the rules, state, in short,

                    2.1: Presence of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in an Athlete’s sample

                    When trying to understand if the rule was breeched:

                    It is the Athletes’ personal duty to ensure that no Prohibited Substance enters their bodies. Athletes are responsible for any Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers found to be present in their Samples. Accordingly, it is not necessary that intent, Fault, Negligence or knowing Use on the Athlete’s part be demonstrated in order to establish an anti-doping rule violation under Article 2.1.

                    2.2: Use or Attempted Use by an Athlete of a Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method.

                    Clarifying subsection:

                    It is the Athletes’ personal duty to ensure that no Prohibited Substance enters their bodies and that no Prohibited Method is Used. Accordingly, it is not necessary that intent, Fault, Negligence or knowing Use on the Athlete’s part be demonstrated in order to establish an anti-doping rule violation for Use of a Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method.

                    …and that’s it. There’s more, but nothing else defines what constitutes doping.

                    If someone produces the chemical, they are not introducing it to their system willingly or knowingly, therefore not doping.

                    Nope. It’s a list of things that can get you banned from all competition. Not just competing with women. She was not banned from all competition.

                    Once again, dishonest.
