dream on. you fight the good fight. let her beat up all the boxing women in your country.they should stay out of olympia and wba. sport is about fairness. i do not care what men with low testosterone do, i care about women that get beaten unfairly in the olympics.
I never claimed to be an expert at anything.
You say there should be fairness. How do you make it fair? What test do you do to ensure it's fair? That's what I want. But your response seems to be to insult me rather than explain it, so I'm guessing you don't actually have an answer to this, you just think that "fake" women shouldn't get to compete as women.
So, again, how do you make it fair? How do you weed out the "not women" from the women?
again, as wba says: testosterone levels. thats how. nobody says she is a fake women. all i say is she should not compete as it is not fair.
It was specifically announced that Khelif was not tested for testosterone by the IAB. They did not say what the test was, only that it was not testosterone.
So then I guess it was acceptable for her to compete.
no. thomas bach lied. he said he had no other information. wba said they informed ioc multiple times. the ioc is just scum.
From the IBA's own website:
https://www.iba.sport/news/statement-made-by-the-international-boxing-association-regarding-athletes-disqualifications-in-world-boxing-championships-2023/
Or is the IBA lying about not testing her for testosterone?
Okay, well that's not a thing, so...
But... She has lost fights to other women in the past. So she's evidently not beating up everyone.
not true. she lost when she wasnt even 20. so yeah when she was a kid grown women had a chance. so fair. i now fully understand your point: it is a reflex and you can not be rational.
If you're accusing other people of irrationality, maybe stick to the facts. Her last loss on her amateur boxing record was 2 years ago, when she was 23. Here's a tweet by Amy Broadhurst who beat her then: https://x.com/amybroadhurst12/status/1818687351582789680
She seems pretty clear that she thinks Khelif is a good boxer but certainly not so absurdly strong that she's unbeatable no?
lol. did you read it? she said it is not cheating, she was born this way. to me this implies that also the winners think imane should not box. they even emphasized cheating. also you have no idea how boxing works, right? point system and so on? get lost.
Are you dense? She literally says
Clearly indicating that she thinks there's no danger or that there's an obvious advantage that Khelif has that others don't have. She emphasized cheating because that's what morons are accusing Khelif of.
If she thought Khelif shouldn't box she would have said so. She explicitly didn't.
I think you need to work on your reading comprehension.
