Not like I’ve ever followed women’s Olympic boxing, or probably ever will, and entered into this when I asked you if something you’d said was about “those two boxers in Paris” as I’d skimmed a few stories, seen some headlines, etc…
Olympic Games Paris 2024

Consistently insisting the IBA has any standing proves the stupidity of so many people it's, well, insane.
Im watching women's hammer throw. The US guy looks like Large Marge.

Commentators on Fox News shows have continued to spread false claims that two female Olympic boxers, Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting, are actually male, an allegation that gained steam after Khelif quickly defeated Italian opponent Angela Carini on Aug. 1.
On Harris Faulkner’s Fox News show Monday, commentator Clay Travis said it’s “completely indefensible that these two individuals have been allowed to compete as women while they are biologically men.”
“You basically have two males, when it comes to the biology of it, beating up women,” Fox News contributor David Webb said Sunday night, while contributor Charlie Hurt said “this is about preventing a man from beating a woman to death at the Olympics.” Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe said that female athletes at the Olympics are having their dreams “stolen by men.” In another Sunday segment on Fox News, contributor Joe Concha asked, “How can a biological male boxer possibly be allowed to compete against a biological woman?”
Khelif and Lin are biological females, and the International Olympic Committee has said that both boxers are eligible as women to participate. A spokesperson for the IOC said the Algerian boxer “was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female and has a female passport.”
The controversy began after the International Boxing Association, an organization that has been banned by the IOC because of a lack of transparency, said the two boxers had been disqualified from a 2023 competition as “a result of their failure to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women’s competition, as set and laid out in the IBA Regulations.” The organization, which is sponsored by Russia’s state-run oil company Gazprom, said the boxers failed “a separate and recognized test.” The head of the IBA, Umar Kremlev, also said the women have XY chromosomes, another assertion that has not been backed up by evidence. On Monday, the IBA held a bizarre news conference aiming to explain the 2023 disqualification without sharing any more details about the tests the boxers allegedly failed.
But that hasn’t stopped conservative politicians and commentators, most prominently on Fox, from accusing the women of having male biology and therefore having an unfair advantage over their female competitors.
