    Absolutely, but it's even more so an issue when it comes to combat sports. There is general unfairness in sports and then there is actual danger. The difference in upper body strength between men and women is massive, add in men having more robust skulls and necks and women being more susceptible to concussions, it's bonkers to risk putting someone of an indeterminate gender in a boxing ring against a women.

    I feel like tons of people who don't follow or understand combat sports are missing out on this aspect, and think it's an openness and fairness issue or they think women can fight men like they do in Marvel movies.

    I really hope the governing body for boxing issue will be resolved before the next Olympics it’s such a waste not seeing them in 2028

    that was my immidiate response. then went down the rabbit hole all the way through and it's pretty preposterous that as a marker. because you have to have other chemicals and genetics to make those chromosomes attatch and work. which she doesnt. and will be another reason why she has a high T count because it's not mashing with any other compounds. and in all of it the eye test. she isnt that fast, or crisp, or strong. she is tall and rangey. fights side on and knows her distance. this isnt wieght lifting it's boxing. when mid 00's James Toney had his pituitary problem when he was producing no and low testosterone. i doubt we thought he was a woman.

    i get it....it's weird. and i respect people to have their views that next olympics this can't happen...but everything behind this controversy hasn't been about that. originally it was a male boxer in a wig, then a trans woman who was fed throught the algerian boxing system, she is genetically a man, and now....then she is too masculine.

    this is all nonsense.

    Does anyone think Ghadfa has a chance against Jalolov today? Haven't seen much of the Olympics this year due to a crazy work schedule. How has Ghadfa looked?

    The lesson learned from this Olympics is that you have a bunch of inept sporting bodies in a corrupt sport bieng political (WEF puppets) as usual which shouldn't happen at amateur level making poor decisions.

    Usyk said himself what he wants when he retires is to fix the amateur system because it's DUFF. Even before the whole gender issue which can only become more prevalent.

    Khelif god bless her soul has no bad intentions but there are many biological indicators clear cut tests that should disqualify a person from competing against woman, are these tests being done? probably not and we'll never know.

    I think male vs female pelvis is one good test. Quick x-ray. Bob's not your uncle he's your auntie.

    Zero chance against even the lazy half-assed version of Jalolov we've been seeing.

    Ghadfa is very lucky to be in the finals, the way the seeding worked out he drew pretty weak opposition after he upset Kunkabayev (by dicey split decision).

    "i DoN't SeE wHy ThE iBa HaD aNy ReAsOn To LiE!"

    How about the fact that both Imane Khelif and Lin Yu Ting had been going on tears in the championships, including beating RUSSIAN AND UZBEK opponents, before the infamously endemically corrupt organization saw fit to void all their victories from the Round-of-32 up through semis on the basis of unprecedented "hormone tests".

    Hmm, yeah, not fishy in the slightest. Those morally upright bastions of integrity at IBA with a decades long history of preferential treatment for both Russians and Uzbeks had uh, no discernible reason to perpetrate any shenanigans. Riiiiight.

    Yeah, totally an issue you can play the "both sides" card, and claim the IOC to be just as "politicized" as IBA. Riiiiiight. :rolleyes:

    Uzbekistan with potentially 5 of 7 mens gold medals. Beasts.

    China (on the women's side) very likely to finish with 3 gold and 2 silver. Nearly as dominant a dynasty being established as the Uzbek men.

    Yeah but lets be honest 5 gold is better and on the mens side. I wonder what they did to develop such good training facilities over there.

    Bookmakers actually give her the best chance of all underdogs.

    So why won't they take another test and put it to bed then? Also I thought you said Khalif used to be average but has suddenly become good. So basically no motive as previously said.

    Don't try belittling people for straight talking and not falling in line with your woke fantasy.
