Male boxer Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan battered female boxer Sitora Turdibekova of Uzbekistan en route to a one-sided unanimous decision win at the Paris Olympics on Friday. The victory for Yu-ting, the favorite to win gold at the competition, follows another male boxer forcing a female boxer to quit just 46 seconds into their bout.
Both Yu-ting and the other male boxer, Algeria‘s Imane Khelif, were previously disqualified from the World Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA) for failing sex chromosome and testosterone tests. However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) insists the IBA’s decision was “arbitrary” and has caused unfair “aggression” towards the male boxers. The IOC also disputes that they are “transgender,” despite being biologically male, as they were supposedly assigned female at birth.
“Testosterone is not a perfect test. Many women can have testosterone, which is in what would be called ‘male levels’ and still be women, and still compete as a woman,” claimed IOC spokesman Mark Adams.
“I hope we’re all agreed we’re not calling for people to go back to the bad old days of sex testing, which was a terrible thing to do and I’m sure we all agree that’s not the way forward in this situation,” suggested Adams, who was best man at the wedding of leftist British prime minister Sir Keir Starmer.
Reports indicate that while the IBA determines gender through sex chromosome tests, the IOC goes by whatever gender is listed on a competitor’s passport.
