World boxing to introduce mandatory sex testing.

Guess we'll finally find out whether Imane Khelif is female or not. I suspect he will avoid the testing "out of principle" 🤭

How will the true believers spin a no show?

I reckon he'll definitely be blaming women for being exclusionary.

I expect most of them will go quiet.

Steve Bunce is attempting a reverse ferret already. But he's getting his arse handed to him.

Algeria will blame Morocco, which is their JKR [excuse the oversimplification of complex geopolitics]
The Algerian media claimed that the controversy at the Paris Olympics was stirred up by Morocco to stop Algeria getting a gold medal.

Good post

My best guess as to how this will unfold:

It's true that I can only be 99% certain, not 100% certain how an SRY screening test on Khelif will come out.

But my knowledge is, in this respect, less important than Khelif's knowledge, and Khelif knows, with certainty, how it will come out.

The choice for Khelif is to take the SRY test or not, in view of this knowledge

A 'failed' SRY test throws into question the Olympic Gold, and this is the big thing that Khelif wants to hang on to.

Not taking the test leaves the Gold under a cloud, of course, but not as much as a failed test.

So the rational course for Khelif is to refuse to take the test.

So, I expect an announcement of withdrawal in the next few days - from Eindhoven for 'personal reasons', citing the 'media storm' or similar, This will be before the 7th. But there might be nothing - just a no-show.

Then, a few weeks later, I expect a retirement announcement. I expect that announcement to cite a 'campaign of harassment', 'intrusions into her privacy', that Khelif has 'nothing left to prove'.

And at a later date, I expect an interesting, dishonest, and disingenuous ghost-written auto-biography, which will be necessary reading for research purposes. "The Algerian Lioness: My Struggle" or similar.

You can also trace the counterfactual: what would happen if we were wrong. An SRY test that shows absence, a karyotype test showing XX, successful law suits against people like me, fulsome and honest apologies all round. I'll brace myself for this in due course.

If this is right, the integrity and status of any Algerian test protocol is beside the point. It ain't gonna happen.

I could be wrong, but watch closely.

It's interesting that there's been no response as yet from the Khelif camp.

Theyre normally fast out of the blocks with the fighting talk.

It's interesting that there's been no response as yet from the Khelif camp.

He's waiting to trip over his untied laces going down the stairs in his house on the morning of the fight. He will be so focused on fight strategies that he didn't notice one had come undone. He will be very sad he can't compete but his leg hurts.

Maybe.

Maybe sudden onset ingrowing toenail - can be mightily painful.

Caught himself in his flies?

So Algeria do the test. It comes back saying 'he a woman!' World Boxing either accept that (and get even more protests) or have a diplomatic incident on their hands. So they say 'well maybe we'll get it checked by a third party'. Algeria throw a hissy fit say they are being singled out and it's racism and withdraw from said upcoming tournament in protest. Thus giving IK more time to sustain a career ending injury with a face save and less embarrassment.

World boxing have already said they will carry out their own tests if they have any doubts about those supplied by individual federations.

There’s no way out for Algeria because the rules apply equally to all national federations so they can’t complain about unfair treatment

Given we know how they never accept anything quietly, I'm not holding my breathe.

The whole subject seems to be more 'how can I get my way out of this and save face / create a conspiracy theory to make me look better than I really am?'.

The bravado and big talk was only possible when they had international backing.

Now that it's gone, they're between a rock and a hard place. They know they can't win, so I suspect they'll conclude it's better to minimise their losses.

I actually think that faced with Algeria’s embarrassment versus women protesting publicly and very visibly and the fact that a journalist has supposedly released one test result, but that we also have a statement from past coaches which combined would put world boxing in a very poor position politically and subject to accepting potential fraud or corruption, I think World boxing would retest. Too much is already known about this case.

We've been talking about eating humble pie and hats. Dunce is being served his own arse.

Yup. The least bad outcome for Algeria and IK is for it all to remain shrouded in mystery (for people who choose not to be able to tell what sex he is). By hook or by crook he won’t take the test. The only thing up for grabs is the reason given

I think a lot of us are checking in for an update and test results.
Obviously I won't need it, but 'Injury My Arse' was available for a username.

There's a @SaggyTitsandFlabbyArse somewhere, named in honour of some dickhead halfwit who told us we didn't need single sex changing rooms because no man would do us the compliment of abusing us since we all have...

😂 😂 how sweet. Did they tell them to #bekind?

I've saved the username in preparation for the announcement.

Isn't he just?

Angry Man still shouting and ranting at women that his version of reality is the only one that exists and anyone contradicting him with things like facts and evidence deserves all his Angry Man Behaviours.

Can't we stuff this lot in some giant circle time programme somewhere? Jolyon could really use it too. Billy Bragg. Many of them.

This is a more informative article than most:

I'm not sure if this is appropriate but in the original Olympics...

...Athletes competed naked as a tribute to the Greek God Zeus. They wanted to show Zeus their physical power and muscular physique. Showing off their bodies also helped intimidate other competitors.

... and such an approach might negate the need for sex testing? Mind you, I wouldn't fancy the fencing... and they might have to drop the Handball event completely! 😳

Careful readers of the World Boxing release will note it does not use the pronoun “she” when referring to Khelif. Six times the statement mentions Khelif. In every instance it is “Imane Khelif,” both names.

I love that they mentioned this. It reminded me of the years when we had to be careful here, but refused to comply with the compelled pronouns. They are refusing too, excellent news.

Ahh, @eatfigswas well ahead of me in posting this.

He (it was so obviously a he) said something like "you don't need a single sex changing room, nobody wants to look at your saggy tits and flabby arse", I lamented that I couldn't change to that name mid thread and lo and behold, SaggyTitsAndFlabbyArse appeared. It was very funny.
