Why won’t the Algerian boxer just agree to take a gender test to end it once and for all?

Algeria only recognises M and F genders, nothing in between.

end what?

there’s enough gaps in the iba’s processes to reasonably assume they made the entire thing up in order to invalidate results against an unbeaten russian boxer at the 2023 world championships

i’m self-aware enough to understand that calling something a “russian misinformation campaign” is an incredibly cheap cop out that automatically invalidates most arguments, but there isn’t a better descriptor that fits this situation

even then a publicly released test wouldn’t resolve anything. most people have already made up their mind and won’t change it based on new information.

Great interview with Cam McEvoy on ABC Offsiders, how he prepared and changed his training methods for the Paris 50 metres, drawing on his learning from his tertiary education in Physics.

I do not care what the back story or motivation for this is, it can’t be compelling enough to tolerate or forgive. Shameful :nauseated_face::face_vomiting::nauseated_face::face_vomiting:

he can touch gravel

Sucks but he is a Pom deep down so was always a chance of happening. Hopefully he has no further success though

Is he going to pay back all that AIS funding?

LOL

send his blood tests to wada

Leave her alone, she is a strong courageous woman that gave it a go!

Meh, Aussies don’t give a ■■■■ about silver medals anyhow.

Femke was likely stuffed after her effort in the relay.

still my favourite moment from the games.

McLaughlin should be running 400m flat too and relays. surely jumping hurdles slows you down more than 2 seconds.

Mick Molloy and Titus O’Rielly did a really good podcast on the boxing issues at the Olympics. It appears the gender concerns for the Algerian boxer are completely unfounded.

It is well worth a listen to understand the real back story.

Seems well founded given it appears there is little truth to any gender issues for the Algerian athlete.

She ran 47 low in the 4x4 final (ie well faster than Bol’s mixed leg). Just no one noticed because it set up the US to win by the length of the straight.
