Journalists are supposed to be independent... they are not answerable to the IOC... if we lose journalistic independence, we lose an element of our human rights.. Article 10 of the declaration of human rights..

Article 10 also protects your right to communicate and express yourself in any medium – including through words, pictures and actions. It’s often used to defend press freedom and protect journalists’ sources

Guidelines are just that - guidelines.

I suggest that we contact newspapers, BBC etc ahead of the boxing matches.

Imane Khalif was excluded from the world championship final for 'eligibility reasons'
related to health so we can guess what they were.
Ironic first name.

bluecomputerscreen · 29/07/2024 08:58

indeed.

I retweet and share as much as I can.
and complain to official news outlets about the inacurate reporting.

bluecomputerscreen · 29/07/2024 08:28

because the ico media reporting guideline prohibits it explicitly.

Correct

MrsJamin · 29/07/2024 08:37

The ico media doesn't control social media though does it? Time for everyone to spread news about BB and the TWO boxers, one which is going to hit an italian woman in the olympics on Thursday :(

Why are no journalists talking about this? The should be calling FIFA and the IOC to account. I wish someone would take them to the court of arbitration for sport.

Thanks for the articles.

The most expensive women's foorball players in history have testoserone levels that fall outside of female range. They have failed sex verification tests required by WAFCON (Women's African Cup of Nations) but neither the IOC, FIFA, Spain nor the USA where they both now play, required players in the female competition to be genetically female.

Another article which in this case uses the phrase 'DSD' https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jul/25/zambias-barbra-banda-create-my-own-name-leave-my-mark

Clear proof that even when there are small numbers of male players in the female game, they have a significant impact... top 2 most expensive players in history!!

Report: Most expensive transfers in women's football history, 2024 - CEOWORLD magazine

The popularity of women’s football has been on the rise, which has led to an increase in transfer fees. Although the amounts are still considerably lower than those seen in men’s football, we can take a look at the most expensive transfers in the histo...

FIFA and the IOC have created this awful situation and unscrupulous people are taking advantage of it.

I'm willing to bet it's not just a couple of players, either. It's not just a Zambia thing, or an African thing, or a global south thing. It's everywhere. It hasn't ruined football for me but that's only a matter of time.

Rachael Kundananji the other Zambian player also failed a sex verification test.

I didn't know that. This player is the most expensive female footballer in history in terms of a fee paid by a club side.

Abhannmor · 28/07/2024 22:27

This problem will have much more salience if Spain, USA or England are beaten by a team with a couple of Bandas in it.

The lengths they are all prepared to go to, lying, fudging, wangling, to enable men to get into women's sports. We're at the point where they know if they do it openly and honestly the public won't take it and the ethics don't stand up, so it's now flat out dishonesty to get those men in there.

The sexism of it is staggering. Greer had it absolutely right: we're starting to see just how much men really do hate women. And how other women know that hating on women like good girls is the path of the Righteous.

Oh well, Australia can hardly complain, given its policies.

It impacts more than Australia. They are at the Olympics.

duc748 · 28/07/2024 20:41

Just been reading Aussie fans following the game in real time. They seemed unaware about Banda; I wasn't going to say anything (it'd probably get me a ban) and kept schtum.

kiterunning · 28/07/2024 20:36

Australia fought back from 2-5 yo win! Yay!
So BB and his hat trick won't help cheating Zambia.
Just hope they lose against Germany now and go home.

Just thinking the same. You reap what you sow.

Australia currently being trounced by Banda with a hat trick in the first half. Appalling that FIFA has let this happen and not a single mainstream journo bothering to report on it.
