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...
