'Testosterone is not the perfect test': IOC on boxer's gender test controversy | ABS-CBN News

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on Thursday (August 1) the testosterone tests were not ‘perfect’ and demanded respect after the gender controversy over tests of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.
The IOC has cleared the way for Khelif, as well as Taiwan's double world champion Lin Yu-ting, who lost her bronze medal at last year's World Championships after she failed to meet the criteria for the same reason, to compete at the Games.
The IOC decision caused a stir before the Games with some warning of safety concerns for the boxers' opponents.
Some sports have limited the levels of testosterone allowed for athletes competing in women's competition, while others ban everyone who has been through male puberty.
Boxing is run by the IOC in Paris as the IBA is no longer recognized by the IOC as the global sports body following a failure to implement governance and financial reforms.
The Algerian moved past Angela Carini when the Italian surprisingly abandoned their welterweight round of 16 fight after 46 seconds in the first round on Thursday, feeling pain in her nose.

This Paris Olympics will go down the history as one of the worst blunders in Olympic history.

[сергейКурмыза-щй]

This is an outrage! IOC has broken a new low in history of Olympic shame!

[DaveAnthonyIling]

If testosterone is not the perfect test then what kind of test are you using to determine if he/she is a female? What a shame to olympics boxing organization

[Mrozkilla]

Women need to start boycotting these competitions.

[clamarroan]

The women need to withdraw from every competition against men. Period. Participating is legitimizing.

[lyndenseymour]

This is digusting, shame on the Olympic committee

[rikuri]

the fact that ioc actually allowed these two biological males to fight female is shameless and disgusting. not fair for another female athlete at all.

[juliatnm]

You are the debauchery of the Olympic idea!

[edomsquared]

I want to see Tyson lower his testosterone then boxed this male OIC. Lets see the outcome. Wokeness is destroying the spirit of the games

[mnbee]

To me it sounds like allowing a fully capable athlete compete against Paralympic athletes. This is ridiculous.

[dovetonsturdee]

The things people will say to keep their nice, well-paid, jobs. Aren't you even slightly ashamed, Mr.Adams, or do you simply hide it for the sake of the money?

[ashz]

Well this transgender did not punch Carini with his transgender feeling but with his biologically male body.

[ClaudiaHoenicke]

This is just wrong! Create your own Olympics. All women should be screaming at this change to Title 9.

[wulliethedent]

The IOC have a duty of care. This is a failure of that duty.

[yatsenkoanton]

what an atrocity to call these scammers "women"

[shadowknightmoon]

Bones, muscles, speed, stamina, moves c'mon man!

[NoTengoIlusiones]

It was not a testosterone test... It's a cromossome test !!

[HeyrroPrease]

Someone who grew up XY vs XX has developed differently over the years. Dressing like a woman and taking estrogen does not change that.

[eckoa.]

Paris Olympic was bad enough in the beginning and now becoming worst.. suck to be that guy in charge in this Olympic event.

[jacobc]

Bring back any test that will protect our women.
