Got to say, to be so recognisable in the world of sport, despite competing in a sport like gymnastics - something that only ever gets air time during the Olympics. It's testament to her star. I would struggle to name you another gymnast from the last 25yrs. Sparkle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 20,023 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Apparently Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is out of the 100m because of some technicality about how she entered the warm-up area?! Surely that can't be true. TheKingObv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a competitor with an XY chromosome fighting women doesn't sit right with me. Throw in the fact they allowed a pedo to compete and I feel these incidents will shadow all the good that's happened from the medal winners She’s a woman. She was born a woman.

There's a lot of confusion surrounding this at the moment. It seems like the IBA conducted a test which concluded the boxer wasn't eligible to fight as a female. Nobody knows what this test was but the boxer did not contest this decision which is rather important. I think it's likely they are DSD in which case present as biologically male in many key measures including testes and therfore testosterone production. Also the fact they've been beaten by women is utterly irrelevant. If I stepped into a boxing ring plenty heavyweight females would flatten me, doesn't mean I don't have an unfair sporting advantage.

We always go on in here about ‘sources’ - he’s a sports scientist explaining the biology behind the issue and presenting a moderate view that the IOC are to blame (despite the eye catching intro to his podcast) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
