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.

      What exactly do you think makes you eligible for the women’s competition apart from being a woman?

      Can you find the page in those rules that show which women are excluded from the women’s competition? Because I sure can’t.

          Yes, I am arguing that. You show me where in the rules it says ineligibility specifically from the women’s competition and not all competition.

              That is simply a lie. You did not show me the rule. You showed me an appendix which specifically did not say what you said it did, then claimed you were wrong, then went back to claiming it said what it didn’t say.

              Then you showed me a press release which did not show me which rule she broke.

              I have no idea why you’re just outright lying now.
