I think given what the IOC has said, they don't actually drug test all the athletes, though they do test many.

@@andremattsson there isn't really a difference in terms of the ergogenic effects. They actually test your testosterone to epeitestosterone levels to see if athletes in the "normal range" are taking exogenous testosterone.

You can also look at males with androgen deficiency and see all the performance reduction that is giving them.

Honestly i think the situation is extremely complex but i think the solution at the end of the day should be simple. The olympics are a place where genetic marvels will always appear, rise to the top and succeed. If we test every female and ban anyone with intersex conditions, higher testosterone, pcos, literally ANY hormonal levels even slightly above a certain cut off, we have to determine that cut off. We're artificially saying 'you cant compete if youre nore than this strong', ans then we have to do the actual work of testing, which can be alot of different things for each person. I think you go by visual sexual anatomy. If that means a bunch of women with higher test rise to the top, so be it. Just like every sport. Swimming will always favor people with wing span like phelps, or gymnasts like biles. Are we going to start excluding people like that just because they also have an 'unfair advantage'? I accept the nuance of intersex conditions, lets just roll with it. You got a dick, one cstegory. Got a snatch, the other. No need to waste time and money doing more than that. No one complains about women with higher testosterone in fucking shotput or weightlifting

The initial reports from the IBA were contradictory. They stated they didn't test testosterone before (now) claiming the test levels were high. Also they did the tests before entering the competition but were only disqualified after winning a couple fights. Turns out the only corporate sponsor of the IBA at that time was a Russian oil company. Regardless, it seems like the IOC needs a complex system with major & minor criteria and some combination of those precluding people from fighting. We do it in medicine all the time, so it shouldn't be hard. For instance, someone can have XX sex chromosomes and a free test up to 75, whereas someone who has XXY sex chromosomes but a testosterone cutoff of 50. All hypothetical of course, but even then, the system would be ignoring the known benefits of testosterone exposure over the course of years preceding the fight.

The IBA is corrupt, the IOC clearly pushing an agenda and testing the waters. And the athletes paying the price, at least they got local support and their gold medals. They should be treated objectively, all athletes. IBA denied T test, because they have no threshold in women boxing and they want them to be as jacked and perform as good as possible, ask any previous medalist and they will tell you they have never been tested for TEstosterone. It is both the negligence of IOC and the corruption of IBA targeting athletes in the midst of a political war with IOC.

Very balanced take. Can’t really trust the corrupt boxing org and the IOC did not do any testing. I guess we’ll see if any further tests are released. Personally I think if a favorable result comes out for either of the athletes then we’ll see it, if not then you can probably guess what happened. At any rate, I don’t think any athlete should be penalized at this point, however, future tests should be implemented to keep the sports relatively fair. I’m interested in what Derick believes about Olympic doping. I personally wouldn’t be surprised if most of the athletes are cheating in some way or another.

They don’t when it comes to trying to conclude whether or not she should be in combat sports.

If you have male Chromosomes it should be a complete non starter for you to be in the same division as other women. At a certain point it’s not just about fairness it’s also about safety, and at least as far as combat sports go there’s a reason we don’t allow men and women to compete against eachother.

My opinions on this issue are influenced by the fact that Imane Khelif is Algerian and that the IBA is a very sketchy organization that had a vested interest to protect Russian boxers. Sex reassignment surgery and being openly transgender are illegal in Algeria and even if it wasn't, one would be putting themselves at great risk for physical harm, harassment, and discrimination for being openly transgender. With both of these things being true, then why would Algeria select her as their representative for Women's boxing? Merit absolutely earns people Olympic spots but they are also chosen for embodying the values that define a nation's identity which is why Ashkenazi Jewish athletes are far more likely to compete for Israel than Arab Israeli athletes of equal skill. As for the IBA, their connections to Russian mafia organizations and high-ranking Russian politicians really hurts their credibility. Russia is an extremely homophobic and transphobic society so accusing Khelif of being transgender was a great reason to disqualify her from the World Championship after she beat a Russian boxer. Until her disqualification, she was a talented boxer that was openly never accused of using PEDs or being biologically male. Her career record is great but it doesn't have many KOs and she was known as a technical point fighter with good shot selection, not a power puncher. It doesn't make logical sense that she'd never have undergone rigorous testing until 2023.

The truth is you are either a biological male or a female. If you have XY chromosomes you are male. If you happen to have a condition that makes you develop less than average male is your problem, women in competitive sports that trained their entire life to succeed shouldn't be beaten by a male with some strange condition, its not their fault. That male is the one that has to come to terms with his condition and accept that maybe elite sports are not for him the same way that they are not for 99.99999% of the population.

@@tubo777 Listen dude. Complicated issue require competent knowledgeable people to speak upon. You don't get to throw percentages and be an overnight scientist. Science says, gender is determined through genital phenotype, gonadal patterns, and chromosomal karyotypes. The conclusion that XX is woman and XY is men is for vast majority of human beings. a 5th degree level of understanding. However, people with disorders (not only sexual disorders) are not as simple as that. For you to understand, Hopefully you don't get to go through this. But if you are blessed with a beautiful young baby girl (no issues, has female genitals), she grows to puberty age and maybe or maybe not you will discover an issue manly through abnormalities (no menstruation, irregular menstruation, under developed breasts, or other more severe issues), or maybe abnormalities are not detected until she is sexually active, or discovers that she can't get pregnant, or gets tumors , maybe cancers. Or she can live her normal female life like nothing happened. And I come, through a youtube video comment and say, My dude I apologise but right there is not your daughter Sir. But You have a grown MAN, or biological MAN. Guess what also, now because you refuse to accept your ignorance, You just made a woman into a man advocating that a woman with ovaries, and a uterus is actually a Man. Meaning a man can get pregnant and have a monthly period. This is why, you should leave advanced issues to be addressed by people that have required knowledge, and they can scrutinize each others deductions and improve our understanding or the human beings anatomy.

Then the "Women's" bracket is very specifically just for biological "normal" women who have XX chromosomes, went through female puberty, and have normal levels of testosterone.

Khelif was disqualified from last-years International Boxing Association world championships after failing 'unspecified gender eligibility tests'. This is where the accusations of high testosterone and XY chromosomes comes from. These accusations are unsubstantiated, as the IBA never released the test results, or even disclosed what tests were conducted to identify these 'discrepancies'. Here comes the rub - these tests, and the subsequent disqualification, came three days after Khelif beat a previously-undefeated fighter from Russia. Gazprom, the Russian state oil company, is the main sponsor of the IBA, which has also been involved in several prior scandals involving controversial disqualifications. So, if you were wondering why a woman who was born a woman, lived her entire life as a woman and has competed in both amateur and professional boxing competitions as a woman is now being accused of hiding a gender transition (that would invalidate her win against a previously-undefeated Russian athlete), now you know.

You do realize that people have different facial structures, right? Some women who are otherwise very feminine can grow male pattern facial hair or have relatively large Adam's apples that deepen their voice. Different ethnicities also have different facial structures in the same way that they can have different complexions or hair textures. Historically, Europeans and peoples with a European based culture have viewed Arabs, Persians, Kurds, and Turkic peoples as having more 'masculine' features such as sharper jaws and broader cheek bones. Many East Asian men have similar fat distributions on their face as European women, partially informing the racist stereotype that East Asian men are innately effeminate. Also, if "common sense" observations were reliable, most people would still believe that the Sun and stars orbited the Earth. Allegorical observations are not scientifically valid because they are informed by the internal biases that all people have. In this case, it appears that you're judging Imane Khelif's biological sex off of your assumption that humans are perfectly sexually dimorphic, which they are not.

Those other men are not competing with the “same tools”Phelps is 6’4 with an 80 inch reach and legs that are 6 inches shorter than they should be at the average proportions for his height. He also has size 14 feet and ankles which hyperextend 15% more than average. Researchers also performed blood tests on him after competing in a 100m butterfly and found that he produces 1/2 to 1/3 as much lactic acid as other swimmers. He fatigues less, produces far more power, and has a more hydrodynamic frame than the average swimmer.
