She has been boxing for years against other females and has always been female as far as she or anyone else knew. I do think the whole thing has called into question her legitimacy and they should do more tests to sort it out. But the usual suspects leapt on it and made it a trans issue which it just isn’t.
I’m sorry but this isn’t about the IBA at all, yes they are absolutely a disreputable organisation. But they don’t do the testing analysis themselves, it’s outsourced to a lab in India. The fact is the IOC made no attempt to clear the matter up because their philosophy is that they don’t recognise sex testing and what someone is, is what it says on their passport. Which is obviously complete bollocks otherwise you wouldn’t have segregated sex categories to begin with. As I say yes absolutely it shouldn’t have been turned into a trans issue. But if someone is biologically male, whether they were aware of it or not they should not be eligible to compete in the female category.

The thing is the level of testosterone in the test was like off the charts, more than than your average bloke would get.


If Khelif wants to submit to testing to prove that the IBA test was faulty or fraudulent it would clear everything up, somehow I’m guessing they won’t.
