Paris Olympics “Everyone has the right to play sport without discrimination” and “The two are victims” – IOC statement following gender controversy in boxing...
August 2, 2024 3:03 AM ◆7th day of the Paris Olympics On the 1st, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) released a statement saying, “Everyone has the right to participate in sport without discrimination.” On the same day, Imane Khelif (Algeria), who failed the gender eligibility test at last year’s World Championships, participated in the second round of the women’s 66 kg boxing competition. Amid mixed reactions, her opponent, Angela Carini (Italy), withdrew after just 46 seconds, causing a stir. In a statement, the International Boxing Association (IBA)’s gender eligibility test was described as an “abrupt and arbitrary decision” made by the IBA’s Secretary General and CEO. He pointed out that both Kerif and Lin Yu-ting (Taiwan), who was also rejected in the women’s 57kg class, will be competing in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, and defended them, saying, “They are both victims.” “The IOC is saddened by the slander they have received,” it said in a statement. They responded to some reports that the two were “men,” saying that this was “misleading reporting” and that “the two have been competing in competitions in the women’s category for many years.” The government once again clarified that the criteria for gender and age would be “based on passport standards.” The IBA had been plagued by problems for many years, including its mismanagement and improper judging, and was suspended by the IOC as a governing body in 2019, and then had its recognition revoked in June 2023. The competition at this tournament is being held outside the jurisdiction of the IBA.

Who is the idiot who would praise a well-trained man beating up a woman? If this kind of absurdity is allowed to go ahead, all sports are meaningless. The IOC is worse than crazy.
>>11 At the time of the Tokyo Olympics, the jurisdiction was the IBA The qualification test included the percentage of female hormones, so they couldn’t fully masculinize This time, the jurisdiction is not the IBA but the IOC They judge based on the gender standard on the passport, and don’t test for hormones, so they were able to masculinize as much as possible.
You may have the right to play sports, but you shouldn’t compete in strength or speed. Because the genes are different. Moreover, martial arts involve the opponent’s life.
> They countered that some reports reporting the two as “men” are “misleading” and that “the two have been competing in competitions in the women’s category for many years.” The government once again clarified that the criteria for gender and age would be “based on passport standards.” This is what happens when trans people are given family registers and passports. If they’re officially recognized, they can use that as a weapon. Of course, they’d want to break through.
