This is a very simple concept , mentioned it in another thread ......... A female is XX , a male is XY .......................If they are XXY they should be competing against other XXY ..There is a reason they were banned from other competitions , Y chromosome is literally what gives men testosterone .Comment

I’ve been discussing this issue with some friends on Facebook. A couple have expressed that they believe Imane Khelif was born a female. This situation is still fresh and highly controversial, so who knows how accurate the information we’re seeing is. But that goes for both sides of the equation. If you want to believe this person is a woman because there isn’t enough evidence to the contrary, the opposing view can say the same — at the very least. I believe this is a case of “if it walks like a duck, quacks and has feathers, it’s a duck.” Could this be a really mannish-looking woman? Sure. But, brother, I’ve been around the block a million times and I’ve rarely if ever seen a female that looks as mannish as that.Comment

thats just not on at all
womens sport is great, tennis is fantastic at times and better than the mens over the years as well, the solheim cup in golf is great etc, gymnastics women are great at etc etc i can hardly believe what im reading from u
testosterone levels are known to be a very high element in athletic performance & thats why they are tested for by vada and other testing orgs and monitored to make sure they are within certain limits to ensure fair play
is that too much to ask for to apply to the ladies as well? surely not, boxing is dangerous enough without dangerous advantages make it even worse
When a woman presents with the same physical gifts people complain that she must be a man.
The definition of Male and Female sport draws a line. Where you draw that line is becoming an issue. Personally I think it should just be the co.ck test.Comment

It's easier for men. We accept that a man with physical gifts is gifted.

she had the option to go to CAS with this and appeal the finding that she failed a gender test and didnt qualify for the world champs and clear this all up but neither boxer took this option, any idea why?Comment

dont agree, there are many many gifted women athletes past and present with no issue like that

if floyd mayweather for example did a vada test and it found elevated levels of testosterone for example, we would all know about it and who knows what the outcome of that would be
surely u can see that?
