Khelif and another boxer, featherweight Lin Yu-Ting of Chinese Taipei, have been fighting under a cloud in France after the Algerian’s opening victory over Angela Carini, who quit after 46 seconds.

      I don’t think we know the details (beyond the blood test) because it’s privileged medical information.

      She identifies as a cis female though (and was assigned Female at birth)

              I read it. The article never states that. Both boxers were tested and found eligible to fight before the tournament. Hours before Khelif’s championship bout against a Chinese boxer she was found ineligible. The IBA is corrupt top to bottom, from the refs to the president. “The public can read between the lines”. That’s a credible statement? The IBA is a credible source? It’s an unsubstantiated allegation. There is no credible evidence

                  Is that even the right measure? If a woman born with XY chromosomes can have a uterus and give birth naturally, what use is it?

                  She tested within normal testosterone levels for a woman which is significantly lower than the range for men. 15-70 vs 300-1000 ng/dL

                    There are also women who have XY chromosomes, but they don’t have receptors for testosterone. They can even have very high levels of testosterone but it doesn’t do anything, why wouldn’t they be able to compete as women?

                    And why would having an uterus and being able to give birth naturally even matter? Are infertile humans not allowed to compete in the Olympics?
