Paris 2024 Olympic Women’s Boxing Debacle

Regarding the Imane Khelif (Algeria) and Lin Yu-ting (Taiwan) Olympic women’s boxing controversy, it appears there has been no testing for testosterone levels or biological sex confirmation at the 2024 Olympics, nor was there for the Tokyo Olympics held in 2021.

The IOC ran the boxing events for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics; for 2024 it set up an organization, Paris 2024 Boxing Unit, to oversee the events but deferred biological sex eligibility rules to individual boxing federations. Previous to this, the IOC had enlisted boxing’s governing body, the International Boxing Association (IBA), to oversee women’s boxing at its debut at the 2012 and, later, 2016 Olympics (and which has organized the women’s boxing world championships since 2001). According to the Paris 2024 Boxing regulations section 3.1, the eligibility rules are simply: – All team entries must comply with the registration information provided in the respective Team Handbook, which shall include but is not limited to: – Copy of passport or refugee identification document for each Boxer’ – Signed Paris 2024 Boxing Unit Code of Conduct for each Boxer – Medical Certificate duly stamped and signed by relevant medical authority within the previous three (3) months for all Boxers – Signed Declaration of Non-Pregnancy for all Women Boxers SOURCE: boxing.athlete365.org/wp-content/upl At should be noted that International Boxing Association (IBA), based out of Switzerland and with roots going back to 1920, has organized the world championships for women’s boxing since 2001, holding 13 championships during that time. The IOC has only offered a women’s boxing division since 2012, or just four championships. At the 2023 world championships, both Khelif and Lin were disqualified and stripped of the medals because, according to IBA president Umar Kremlev, the boxers had failed medical eligibility tests as their DNA tests “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded." According to minutes from IBA’s March 25, 2023 Board of Directors meeting, “IBA has the results from two independent laboratories in two different countries at its disposal, both of which indicate that the athletes (Khelif and Lin) do not meet one of the eligibility criteria to continue competing at the Championships.” SOURCE: iba.sport/wp-content/upl In 2019, the IBA was suspended by the IOC from organizing the boxing events for the 2021 Olympics, allegedly for corruption. In 2023 the IOC made the decision to permanently ‘not recognize’ IBA as the sport's existing governing body. At nearly the same time in 2023, a competing boxing organization, World Boxing, was established with an interim board made up of representatives from the US, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Sweden, essentially to organize the boxing events at future Olympic games.

Biden Being Pushed Out By The Democrats

Let's be clear, if Biden was ahead in the polls (or even close) right now, the Left wouldn't be pushing him out of the race. They don't care about Biden's diminished mental capacity. They don't care about his waning physical health. They don't care about his lack of ability to lead the country. They only care that he would lose the election in November.

The Biden Debate Debacle

It was clear in 2020 when Biden was running his campaign from his basement that he wasn't up for the task of being president. Since then, there have been countless examples of his infirmity that Leftist pundits, media, and voters glossed over as if we hadn't seen with our own eyes that you wouldn't trust Biden to make you a sandwich, let alone be the leader of the free world. That they are now acknowledging Biden's debacle of a debate is only because they care far more about losing an election than actually having competency in the White House.

The Guardrail For Our Society

Women, in general, and young women, in particular, used to be the guardrail for social behavior—essentially keeping males from acting too stupidly, brazenly, dangerously. Now young women are nearly just as bad, just as often.
