I read the article and I still don’t get it. Why are these people not allowed to compete as women? Do they identify as men?
No. They identify as women. The IOC agrees. We don't know how they were tested or what the test results actually were by the IBA since they aren't being open about it. But it doesn't matter because the IOC doesn't accept IBA results.
What's funny is that a lot of the people arguing that these two women shouldn't be competing with other women here on Lemmy keep arguing about sporting rules while ignoring the IOC's saying that rules aren't being violated.
So much furor over two athletes in a sport which, I believe, has not even gotten to the medal stage yet. They may both be out by then.
I wish the people so upset over these two would spend more time being upset about things like China doing a shitload of covert doping. That is an unfair advantage that they don't seem to give two shits about. Because "man boxing women."
Not sure about Lin Yu-ting but Imame was born female. Algeria does not allow transitioning so even if she wanted to transition, she could not legally. People are freaking out because the loser complained that she was fighting a 'man' because she lost so bad. She let her guard down and then leaned into a right hook. Por course that is going to fuck you up.
