You have made no comment on what I saw with my own eyes - I defy you to tell me that 45 seconds was a "fair" fight.

As I understand from IOC's public comments, their sole grounds for allowing this person and the other one who's sex is disputed is what their passports said. I've seen lots of assertions that Algeria is trans and homophobic - I would say that's highly likely - and so would not allow a man who says they're a woman to be given that status. But that doesn't amount to proof of anything much it was the IBA which has asserted they both had XY chromosones. I don't think either the IOC or the IBA are organisations we should believe without proof. I too have seen the assertions that this is all Putin propaganda but I have also seen lots of stuff pro these two individuals that amounts to unfounded assertions/conspiracy theories.

Please take JVL's constant exhortions to us to not descend into insults.

At the very least, surely we can agree there are unanswered questions here?
