The development comes after a presentation to the International Olympic Committee by its medical chief, which highlighted the potential physical advantages of competing in women’s sport after being born male.

        Lmao is that just some dude’s blog? Your accredited lab is bullshit, your blogger here literally spouts a bunch of hearsay and conjecture what about a clarification from the IOC implies, then has the gall to throw out the phrase “facts are facts.”

        Also I love this: “3 Wire Sports remains the only journalistic outlet to have seen these 2022 and 2023 tests.” Holy shit lol.

        But yeah, sure thing, whatever you say sweetie

          It’s easy to use motivated reasoning to dismiss things you don’t want to be true. Why do you think Khelif is a woman?

            I don’t know. Perhaps I’ll start with the fact it’s highly unlikely a Muslim country would allow a trans male to represent them in boxing at the Olympics?

            How about you pass that bar first?

              Khelif was incorrectly assigned female at birth and is not trans. Many people with male DSDs like that don’t find that they’re not female until puberty

                    More than you do that she isn’t. Your link was dogshit. She may have high testosterone et al counts for a woman but she is still a woman.

                    Beyond that you are well aware that a) I haven’t looked at her naked body and b) probably aware that I’m not a sports or medical scientist connected to her career so stop your bullshit; it’s a lazy, garbage call to make. The evidence I have is that she represents a Muslim country and they would make damn sure she’s a woman.

                    She’s certainly a lot closer to a woman than a man that’s for sure. Furthermore, she’s been beaten in competition by other women, so she can be beaten.

                    I can tell you don’t have a great understanding of the boxing world. I’ll say this much; there’s a lot of women boxers with high natural hormonal counts. They’re tough women with quite a few of them well toward the male end of the spectrum. I know some of them can’t wait to have a crack at Khelif because they know shes the best, both physically and mentally.

                    Time to pack it up ay? You don’t know what you’re talking about.
