NE PA Ag,
Your solution may help for the very highest of profile World and Olympic level sporting bodies, but I can assure you that there is no way that we can flip a switch and require all woman's competitions worldwide to suddenly get a genetics test to compete. You interested in taking your daughter in for the blood draw for middle school basketball?
Even those World governing bodies dont have the ability to test every single competition under their banners down to the lowest levels under them.
The IBA and IBF will not let these two box women:
Quote:
The International Boxing Association (IBA) issued a statement on Wednesday about the disqualification of Khelif and Yu-ting from the 2023 women's championship.
"This disqualification was a result of their failure to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women's competition, as set and laid out in the IBA Regulations," reads the statement. "Point to note, the athletes did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognized test, whereby the specifics remain confidential. This test conclusively indicated that both athletes did not meet the required necessary eligibility criteria and were found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors."
The statement mentioned that Yu-ting did not appeal the IBA's decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and Khelif appealed the IBA's decision but then withdrew. According to minutes from an IBA meeting in 2023, similar laboratory testing and results for Khelif and Yu-ting were recorded in 2022, although the results were received after the championship and therefore they were not disqualified.
Finding this out, particularly at the Olympic level, is not difficult.
