But it does mean further investigation is necessarily

What? Have they been living under a rock? How misinformed can they be?

So embarrassed for this young person. Such confidence for one so bizarrely ignorant and breathtakingly biased. They are in the wrong job and causing so much damage.

So certain of their rightness and they don't even perform a cursory fact check of their assumptions…

They will make sure to not get gold. it is becoming apparent to me that there are a lot of people who are profiting from this. I do not know who they are but they are lobbying for these male boxers. All the mainstream media are saying how cruel that these athletes are having their gender discussed in public

Dreading tonight's match ( on soon)
Also wondering about betting patterns and match fixing.
It would be easy to throw this match for financial gain.

Roan is on the boxing coverage!

Very very clear so far!

This chap is good!

yowzers, what's this, halfway sensible, informed, and balanced discussion?

He's gonna get the BBC in trouble 🤣

tainted the Olympics- too fucking right

OMG I am putting a fractious dc2 to bed! What's happening, what am I missing?

Thoughts with you, Yang Liu.

Great summing up of the controversy by Dan Roan!
Can't bear to listen to the idiot commentator though.

Liu when I saw her at the last Olympics (if it's the same person I remember, which I concede it may not be) was really good, quite probably too good for a big oaf like Khalif, but maybe has a few too many miles on the clock?

It would be easy to throw this match for financial gain

More likely for ideological gain. “He didn’t win so men can’t have an advantage”

It was good they had Dan Roan on first to put the fight in context before the batshit commentators pipe up. She can't get near him .. surprisingly.

Managed about a minute of this appalling bull about 'her' bravery in dealing with the controversy and simply couldn't cope with any more gaslighting by the BBC. Can barely imagine how the athletes feel...

Too far away, no range, say the commentators. Quelle surprise

'not enough effective aggression from Yang' says the commentator. No shit.

Khelif all tens. Yang all nines.

Great Freudian slip (or intentional) by The Telegraph.

'Just got to get a bit nearer'
Of course she can't you idiot.
Yang looks very shaken not surprisingly.

He’s literally taunting her in this third round🤬
