Apparently the talking point that they have XY chromosomes isn't even official. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 03/08/2024 10:52:00 PM

"An examination of the evidence for such claims made against both boxers shows they appear based almost wholly on a single statement from a Russian official published in the form of a Telegram post last March. . . .

"In the hours after this article was first published, the International Boxing Association (IBA) circulated a new public statement to international media. In it, the IBA says the disqualifications of the boxers were based on 'recognised testing.'

The statement says: 'the athletes did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognised test, whereby the specifics remain confidential. This test conclusively indicated that both athletes did not meet the required necessary eligibility criteria and were found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors.' . . .

Typically, when an athlete fails a test relating to a banned substance details are released about the testing process and results.

Prime Time asked the IBA to provide details relating to the DNA tests it says were conducted. In a statement the IBA said the decision to disqualify both boxers 'was made following a comprehensive review and was intended to uphold the fairness and integrity of the competition.'

When asked to provide details of this 'comprehensive review,' the IBA said it had 'no further comments' to make."

This sounds like an unprofessional disaster. Obviously they can't release the results of the tests, but they can at the very least say what the tests were about.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
