INTERVIEW WITH INTERNATIONAL BOXING ASSOCIATION CEO AND SECRETARY GENERAL CHRIS ROBERTS

"The boxer has spent four years from one Olympic cycle to another. You know, to meet a dream. One dream, of course, to win the world championships and another dream to win the Olympic Games, of course, has been taken away."

"There was a concern raised by both coaches and boxers. Indeed, our medical committee at the time had also had concerns. And so it was at that point that the chair of the IBA Medical Committee intervened and said, look, we need apply these tests correctly and we go from there. So this had been applied and of course, we had the result which came out that both boxers were ineligible for our tournament. Quite a lengthy process. I don't know. It's been a while now. But of course, the end state of that is that these two boxers are not allowed to box with the IBA. So I find it remarkable how the IOC apply a different condition to this event."

“The testosterone is not a perfect test. Many women can have testosterone, which is in what would be called male levels and still be women and still compete as women. So, this panacea, this idea that suddenly you test, do one test for testosterone, and that sorts everything out. Not the case, I'm afraid. But each sport needs to deal with these issues. They know their sports and their disciplines the best, and you need to target and tailor, I should say, the testing and so on with that. But I think we're all agreed. I hope we're all agreed that we're not calling for people to go back to the bad old days of sex testing, I think, which was a terrible, terrible thing to do, and I'm sure we all agree that that is not the way forward in this situation.”

Testosterone levels may not be “accurate”, but chromosomes don’t lie!!!

[usergiodmsilvaPT]

IBA: We did genetic testing.
IOC: We checked the passport!

[adralia]

IOC should be sued for neglecting boxer's safety rights.

[chuckquinley]

why is sex testing a "terrible thing to do"?

[michaelhimes]

The reason they don’t want sex testing is because it reinforces the reality that in almost all cases XX and XY genetic identification will likely predict gender attributes in performance.

For those with a genetic mutation, their performance enhancements (not just testosterone) should be measured/factored to decide which category they should compete in.

[tonyblackburn]

Sex testing is ABSOLUTELY the way forward to make sure the feild is a fair and competitive one. This is total madness.

[donnamorris]

Shame on IOC. Shame and never watching this again, disgusting Olympics.

[Gruffydom]

Sex testing seems perfectly reasonable. It is what it is.

[reneesmith]

The IOC needs to be disbanded like all the other International organizations.The Paris Olympics has been a disgusting, in many ways.

[TaweretSekhmet]

In other words: IBA did dna testing, so they know and ruled them out and the IOC thinks genetic testing is terrible and they just checked passports. Ridiculous.

[mcribprime]

As a life time boxing fan, a supporter of boxing at every level, the IOC have 100% dragged boxing into the gutter their lack of anything remotely comparable to protection over female athletes or females in general is just disgusting. As of immediately I will no longer be supporting IOC boxing I seriously hope others pull support for the IOC and yes including funding to be pulled by the IOC boxing. No amount of excuses can possibly justify their decision to allow this person to fight in the female category especially as they have already been refused permission from other commissions due to the extreme level of testosterone and the fact they have XandY chromosomes biologically makes them male. The IOC have clearly shown they don’t care for female athlete safety or fair competition they truly are a disgrace.

[vschalkie]

How come you never see a trans man competing against men … speaks volumes.

[wiseGrant]

How can IOC hold Men's and Women's categories and not know how to tell the difference between Men and Women?

[MsRKane]

Hi IOC, do you have a medical committee? You sound a little confused…

[jtmplmbr]

What a DISGUSTING and perverted world we live in

[joev]

XX = Female
XY = Male
It's really not complicated

[mamasan]

Sick! As a gay man I find this situation is completely nonsense! This dude will never be a winner in the mind of the people!

[ST-mnnw]

Imagine if the two guys are the in the same weight division youd have two men fighting in the final of the women's Olympic boxing final 😂 2024 in a nutshell

[GirlBoss-xbol]

What we witnessed was Mark Adam’s of the Olympics explain how progressive they are in allowing a dude to punch out a woman. That is equally disturbing.

[stephaniesims]

Wait, why can’t we agree that sex testing is the way forward? What’s wrong with having people with XY chromosomes compete against other XY chromosomes and people with XX compete against XX?
