DISGRACEFUL "Olympic Committee Chairman Complains There is ‘No Scientifically Solid System’ to Identify Men From Women"

Meanwhile on Reddit: "This discussion is closed. You cannot post comments."

I think the XX chromosome would be a good scientific basis for sport in general. What the passport says and whether they were raised with dolls..has 0 bearing on the issue.

Just because a person "believes" he or she is a particular gender doesn't make it biologically so and it doesn't make the fight fair. But in the woke culture, beliefs and feelings are more important than facts.

XX= WOMAN
XY=MAN
And exception of intersex the rest is just BS.

The ocean … is a woman …. The moon … is a woman … the North Pole was raised as a woman, born as a woman, and is a woman who identifies as a woman whom is a woman woman woman .

The Olympic spirit is about fairness, integrity, the equal opportunity to compete, and above all, honesty about who human beings really are. See, insulting the intelligence of the public does not help anybody!!

To believe chromosomes have no connection to science, makes it cleat that Bach's cranium has no connection to any other purpose than an air chamber.

Thomas Bach the criminal deserve jail . Fire this man

Notice he didn't bring any actual scientific evidence. The IBA just released a video talking about his chromosomes.

People freaking out over this, but seemingly ok with the convicted child rapist competing.

IOC President Thomas Bach gives us the clear definition of what a woman is. If you were born a woman and have been raised as a woman, you are a woman -- which implies that if you were born a man, you are a man -- and anyone who wants to give a new definition, should do so based on science. Thanks a lot for clearing that up, Thomas!

Science has now proven otherwise, you banned Caster Semenya.

This guy is so happy that Carini apologies.
something fishy behind the closed door.

[CleoandCoco]

Did he say a scientific new way to define a woman? Like we are going to just change how biology works? Organizations really hate to admit when they are wrong about something. To do further testing to determine gender through chromosome testing could possibly make the IOC look bad and like they were wrong. So of course they won't do it.

[Feroce]

Quick DNA testing, XX vs XY chromosomes. Simple test, scientific, and all the people that are saying these are not women would accept them if it turns out they have XX chromosomes. Why would IOC not want that?

Italian boxing did it before with a Turkish boxer at the Tokyo Games
Don't go into boxing if your specialty is making pizza
Spaghetti and pizza are not the food of athletes
Imane Khelif 👸🥊💥

Words don't mean anything anymore, evidently. Not everyone can be a woman in a sane world.

[firepilot]

He needs fired! Olympics are trash anymore.
