Last week I asked ChatGPT whether Mboma was reluctant to take a cheek swab test and it flatly denied that there was sex testing in athletics.
However when I corrected the statement, it thanked me for the information!

See, it’s over a period of time. 25 years. When you bear in mind it was all three medalists in one race, it doesn’t surprise me. It’s only two or three a year. Obviously that’s two or three too many. But it doesn’t at all surprise me- it kind of stacks up?

Those medals need to be given to the rightful winners and all records corrected, particularly where records have been broken.

Sean Ingle is very good on the need for women's sport to be female only. He made that very clear in his coverage of women's boxing at the Olympics.

I just saw this and come to see if there was a thread. Surprised the Guardian is running the story.

In other news, water is wet.

Over represented? SHOCKED I TELLS YOU.

I’m just shocked at the sheer scale of it. I thought it was just a couple. Multiply it over all the other sports and pre 2000 and it’s outrageous.

The Guardian running an article about males in women's sports with a picture of Caster Semenya!

I’m actually feeling really upset about this. The sporting bodies have KNOWN this. Yet they allowed it to happen.

women and girls need our own sporting bodies. Men don’t give a shit about female sport.

It makes a mockery of women’s sports. There really just should be a swab test and females can compete. (Edit: I see they’ve done that for this Tokyo competition which is great. Hopefully it continues)
