IOC President Thomas Bach said the “hate speech” directed at boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting at the Paris Olympics is “totally unacceptable.”

“We will not take part in a politically motivated … cultural war,” Bach said at a news briefing Saturday at the midway point of the Paris Games, where he wanted to draw a line under days of global scrutiny about the female boxers’ gender.

    you want to force the women with normal testosterone levels to get beat up by her? top gentleman move!

    Of course, it’s boxing being “beat up” is what happens. Should the last placed contestant get another go becase they got beatup?

    Unless the governing body want to separate contestants based on t levels, or how many pubes on their labia or some such, like a weigth class, then yes, if they can’t handle it and are going to lose that badly, go do gymnastics or whatever.

    No ones forcing any if these people to compete, so they only one forcing them to be beat up is themselves.
