IOC President Thomas Bach said the “hate speech” directed at boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting at the Paris Olympics is “totally unacceptable.”

“We will not take part in a politically motivated … cultural war,” Bach said at a news briefing Saturday at the midway point of the Paris Games, where he wanted to draw a line under days of global scrutiny about the female boxers’ gender.

    Question for you: What were the tests the IAB administered and who administered them? Do you know? Because I don’t. And they’re refusing to say.

    Does that not strike you as odd?

    Also, if you knew you were being pushed out of a league due to bogus testing and it was coming from the top, why would you appeal?

                I’m asking for evidence. They, and you, are making a claim. It is up to both of you to back up that claim.

                You may accept evidence-free claims, I try not to.

                And no, “they did not publicly challenge it” is not evidence of a valid test or valid results if the test is valid. Literally the only thing we know, because it’s all they told us, is that they did not test for testosterone.

                    Tested,

                    Again, we have no idea what test or who administered it. Not evidence of test results.

                    found to have an advantage,

                    Since we don’t know what the test was, we have no idea what that advantage was. Again, not evidence.

                    disqualified,

                    Once again, we do not know what they were disqualified for.

                    refused to go through with an appeal.

                    Please tell me exactly what they would have had to do in order to make an appeal. Do you even know?
