The gender tests conducted by the International Boxing Association on two female fighters at last year's world championships that led to their disqualification were illegitimate and lacked credibility, the IOC said.

    > The IBA never said what kind of test it was, just that it wasn't a testosterone test, nor did they explain the results, citing privacy. In an interview with Russian state-owned media, the Russian president of the IBA said that they did a DNA test and found that Khelif had XY chromosomes, but again...look at the source, the audience, the track record of corruption, the timing...   > Plus, they did this test in 2022 and didn't have any issue with the results? They used the 2022 test as part of their basis for disqualifying her - even though they allowed her to compete in 2023, up until she beat a Russian athlete.   > So there's no evidence that she has higher testosterone. She competed in the 2020 Olympics without incident, even when other female athletes with high testosterone were withdrawn. And the IBA didn't administer a testosterone test.   > There's also no other information, testing, questions, or anything that she has talked about that would allude to any sort of chromosomal or hormonal difference. She was born woman (childhood pictures all over the internet) competes as a woman and always has.
  • then IOC should test and not rely on a passport. How hard is it to do a test?
  • @larrybxl5406
    There is NOTHING ad hoc about a karyotype test. This IOC official is a nut,
  • I'd believe the boxing federation over the IOC any day. This whole situation is getting more and more outrageous. Smh.
  • If i would be a CEO of CocaCola i would not want to have nothing with this Shame Olympic games. :/
  • @ericspycat
    IOC’s passport test is totally legit and scientific😂😂😂
  • So if PacMan decided later on to change gender in passport, he/she then can potentially become universal champion in both male & female categories.
  • @Caoderrick
    Sure, and checking Passport is way more legitimate than that
