Does she? First we don't know the indicator that failed the test. If it is an xy chromosome or higher testosterone. For all we know could be a bad test sample. What we do know is she is a woman. How hard would it be to just pay off an official/tester if your competitors are better than you.Secondly this lady has lost to many women with no question they are women. She isn't superior she may have advantageous genes and if we want to put a limit on that well we she should examine if Michael Phelps is to advantageous in his genes.

Yeah, the boxer in question has XY chromosomes. Did you read the article? It's in there.

I read up more on this and my original comment was wrong.

One corrupt Russian official said this but did not give proof or point to the test. They let her compete all the way to the end of a competition let her win then claimed she has xy chromosome.

Thank you. I will look for more sources. I was just going off of this article.

No, she doesn't. Some random sexist schmuck claimed she did and idiots like you gobble it up without question. Grow a brain.

It seems from what I read that she has this syndrome when a male doesn't develop all male features but female ones. That's why she would have high testosterone and could have other masculine features. Sucks, but absolutely something that should be addressed and already is addressed. Only that it is addressed differently in different leagues.

I think that in case of imame, no competitors issued any complaints before the Olympics even when asked directly, so she should be able to compete.

Maybe we don't know. We don't have good clear transparent and non corrupt testing. We don't even test this on every single woman. IoC said they need clearer standards if they want to kick this woman out.
