The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee quietly changed its eligibility rules on Monday to bar transgender women from competing in Olympic women’s sports, and now will comply with President Trump’s executive order on the issue, according to a post on the organization’s website.
She was ban from a competition where gender test where mandatory Last one she participate didn’t have thoses tests She never went to one that have thoses test mandatory Like the article said “Khelif has never provided any evidence beyond her word to prove she is a woman, but has vowed to compete in the upcoming games.”
I’m more encline and it seem it s more reasonable to believe she 's not a woman than she is.
If she was banned by the IBA I would not trust the test or their motives. If Putin specifically said literally anything, would you trust it?
The burden of proof is on the claimant, the default position is that she’s telling the truth. If I claimed you were a woman (assuming you are a man) with no credible proof and thus are ineligible for playing in any male sports, do you think that is fair and if not how is it different?
I can see your point but if I said I was a man and wasnt able to provide any evidence for and use to make a professional activity that s more than just an activity but a way of life and suddenly I stop to attend any of thoses that ask me to be tested to proove I am a man, you can understand how it raise suspicions ?
There’s no official requirement to prove gender in general, but her father submitted a birth certificate to Reuters, which I believe is a very trustworthy news outlet. https://www.reuters.com/sports/olympics/father-algerian-boxer-khelif-says-he-is-honoured-by-his-daughter-2024-08-03/. There would probably be other evidence if she were a man, for example a failed blood testosterone test which the IOC does conduct to avoid PED abuse. There is no such evidence.
