Surely this has to be the point at which something is done to safeguard the female athletes and women’s sports?

Wishful thinking? I’m sure it will be swept aside - as science, biology and XX people are bigoted and irrelevant.

‘Ban them now’: XY boxers have 162 per cent more power

International Boxing Association has sensationally accused the IOC of corruption, confirming XY athletes Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting have male biology and should be banned from the Paris Games.

Why are other papers not reporting this?

Thank you Spinach !

The News Ltd has the best paywalls in the world I reckon.

Thanks op.

Khelif and Yu-Ting were disqualified by the IBA from last year’s world championships for failing sex tests. Despite that ruling, the IOC has allowed the duo to fight at these Olympics because they are listed as women on their passports.

I think that might be the best two-sentence summary I've seen of this whole shameful debacle.
