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.

    I also have clearly not decided she is a man

    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.

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

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

                  They are in the link I provided which you’ve read so you should already know.

                    The link where you claimed Appendix 6 showed the appeal process when it didn’t and haven’t shown where it would show the appeals process?

                    Sounds like you don’t know either. Which makes me wonder why you think any test at all would invalidate it apart from just taking the league at their word. A league the IOC has found to be completely corrupt.
