The Eddie the Eagle of break dancing

[perrykneeham]

Hahaha! Well,that's that, then. Lippy > Science.

Wouldn't.

[voice]

Have you idiots not got over seeing a brown woman punch a white women at the Olympics. f**k me you're fragile. You must keep Kleenex in business.

[mids]

What's queer is that you hate women but you can't even define them.

[voice]

Says the bloke who fell for a Russian scam meant to goad simpletons into believing a women is not a woman because she first beat a Russian woman then an Italian.

Though I suppose having been obsessed with other people's genitals for so long, and saying that's the definition, it's funny seeing you try and find a reason a woman born with female genitalia is in fact a man.

Are you sure you should be continuing with the tired old "gotcha" bs about others not knowing what a woman is, cos it's you struggling here.

[perrykneeham]

Is genetics "a Russian scam"? Maybe it is. It's easily resolved though.

[voice]

Yeah suppose if Russia's IBA had actually published the "tests" they did rather than make what appears to be unfounded accusations aimed at triggering morons, all this could be avoided

[voice]

Oh, look, perhaps the morons will finally STFU


IBA Apologizes To Imane Khelif After Clarifying Successful Gender Eligibility Tests

In a surprising turn of events, the International Boxing Association (IBA) has issued a formal apology to Olympic boxer Imane Khelif after clarifying that she has successfully met all gender eligibility criteria. This apology comes after a period of intense scrutiny and controversy surrounding Khelif’s participation in international competitions.

The controversy began with Khelif and Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting facing disqualification from the 2023 Boxing World Championships due to allegations of failing gender eligibility tests. These allegations were part of a broader debate about fairness and the integrity of competition, which had fueled widespread speculation and criticism.

Initially, the IBA had provided vague and incomplete information about the testing procedures and results, leading to significant backlash. The association had stated that the tests showed both Khelif and Lin had “competitive advantages,” but the specifics were kept confidential. This lack of transparency fueled further controversy and led to heightened tensions among fans and athletes.

However, recent developments have clarified the situation. The IBA has now confirmed that Khelif passed all required gender eligibility tests and is fully compliant with the regulations set forth by international boxing authorities. This clarification has led to an official apology from the IBA, acknowledging the distress and damage caused by their earlier statements and the resulting public reaction.

IBA President Umar Kremlev, who had previously criticized the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for their stance on the issue, has expressed regret for the confusion and stress caused to Khelif. He stated, “We apologize to Imane Khelif for the confusion and distress caused by our previous statements. It was never our intention to cast doubt on her eligibility or integrity as an athlete.”

In response to the IBA’s apology, Khelif has expressed relief and gratitude. She stated, “I appreciate the IBA’s apology and the clarification regarding my gender eligibility. The past months have been challenging.

The IOC, which had cleared Khelif and Lin to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics despite the earlier controversy, has supported the clarification. IOC President Thomas Bach reiterated that there was “never any doubt” about Khelif’s eligibility and reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to fair and inclusive competition.

The IBA’s apology and clarification serve as a reminder of the importance of transparency and clear communication in maintaining the integrity of sports and ensuring fair treatment for all athletes.

[perrykneeham]

Link?

Also, on the information available, it was perfectly reasonable to question the eligibility. A moronic approach would be to ignore science and pretend to have a higher knowledge based on some wierd new dogma that seeks to put one's own self-serving posturing ahead of fairness, rationality and safety.

[mids]

Sounds made up. SMU.

I was simply agreeing with your comment.
