Imane Khelif and the WBO

and is recognised by the IOC as a female athlete.

Again, the very carefully constructed wording here.

Recognised by the IOC as a female athlete. It does not say that the WBO recognises this athlete as a female athlete.

And Banned, well, Khelif would not be banned from competing as a male.

I note the words “recognised by the IOC as a female athlete.”
as opposed to “is a female athlete”

While everybody else was blaming the far right/GC activists/the Kremlin/whoever for the controversy around Khélif at the Olympics, it was widely believed in Algeria that the controversy was orchestrated by Morocco, part of the bad relations between those two countries.
Maybe this fake news is part of the Moroccan campaign - if the existence of the campaign isn't fake news itself, of course!

The IOC& WBO really need to sort this mess out-we can't got forward with males beating up women, in the womens category....thats just madness

Update, the BBC has posted an article today confirming the rumours are false.

"Imane Khelif has always competed in the women's division and is recognised by the IOC as a female athlete.

The World Boxing Organisation (WBO) says reports it has banned Olympic champion Imane Khelif and stripped her of her Paris gold medal for failing gender eligibility tests are "obviously false".

A report from an online sports blog was being shared on social media after claiming Khelif had been given a lifetime ban.

In a statement, the WBO's legal counsel Gustavo Olivieri said it had "not tested, nor had it banned" Khelif..."

Oh right... thanks, NoBinturongsHereMate, I told you the details had got a bit hazy since the Olympic flame was put out

It was the IBA, rather than the WBO. But otherwise yes.

Is Fleming the player who's already left 1 of his opponents with paralysis and permanent brain damage or yet another man who likes hitting women in the head?

I became a bit of an expert on amateur boxing/IK/chromosomes etc during the Olympics
I've forgotten lots of the detail, but I think this is true:

1. the WBO has already banned IK from women's boxing competitions that it controls because of two failed tests.
2. the WBO has no power to rescind Olympic medals.
3. the Olympics had their own eligibility rules for women's boxing, and IK qualified under those 'rules' at the time ['does your passport say you're a woman? in that case, box away, Madame..'] so they couldn't taken his medal away, it wouldn't be ...I was going to say 'fair', but you know what I mean - he was eligible at the time and he still has 'F' on his passport, so his Olympic eligibility hasn't changed at all.

So that's that😐

Yes it's just a matter of time as the evidence mounts.

SJSU’s male player, Blaire Fleming blasts another strike to the face of a female opponent in tonight’s match.

Abot 17 cm, or 6.7 inches, difference in vertical jump between college age men and women. Coincidentally, the net in men’s volleyball is 7 inches higher than in women’s.

Things that make you go “hmmm”

Genuine question: why aren't you bothered?

Still letting male people beat up female people as a sport then.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. Hadn't thought of that.

There are loads of fake reports across social media that Khalif has been banned.

However these things work, there's clearly an interest in that happening.

So which is it?

The WBO should not be trusted when they say that Khelif is male?

Or WBO now miraculously should be trusted because they confirm that the report was false?

Or the WBO can be trusted with the accuracy of both statements?

I mean, I believe the WBO to be reliable in both statements they have made about this athlete. So I am going for the third option.

But only a short time ago there were many posters declaring the WBO was just as corrupt as the IBO, that they should never be trusted because they made a statement confirming that Khelif is a male during the Olympics. It kind of made some arguments lose their consistency.

600 female athletes have lost out on 890 medals in 29 sports around the world due to competing against 'biological males'.

Sadly it doesn't seem to be true. 600 women lose out on 890 medals still.

Why are we bothered by a male athlete punching female athletes in the face when it is likely that male has punching power of 160+% than the female athletes?

That power that is enough to cause greater life shortening injuries than other competitors? And to mean that female competitors don’t have fair competition and the ability to be recognised for their skill?

Is that what you meant with your question?

Who are you addressing your question to?

Genuine question: why are you so bothered?

Imagine she'd posted something completely batshit like, ooh, women can have a penis, or men can give birth!

As opposed to getting taken in by doctored paperwork. Or the idea that saying some words changes your sex. Now THAT would be daft.

Bit awkward, getting taken in by that fake news article.

Sharron Davies has made false claims.

That article maybe "false" but it's true he's a cheating man.
