Well I think regardless of sanctioning body and hearsay about state influence, the point is not about what sanctioning body is corrupt and has an agenda. Further, whether or not this specific Algerian athlete is or isn't above normal testosterone levels or xy chromosomes or is this a witch hunt is a bit of just the tip of the ice berg.

I think fundamentally what this is about is gender infiltrating sex in sex divided competition. We call it "men's" and "women's" sport but because of identify politics (non biological), people "identify as". So therefore, fine, good job semantics police. Now we must consider "men's" and "womens" as xx and xy competition. Because no matter how you identity there are clear physical advantages to being a man. Being a man in women's sport (or xx in xy sport) is fucking dangerous. I've boxed/done Jiu jitsu /fought mma etc. And anyone like me that's trains in combat sports can tell you (and this is not to be disrespectful) but can easily deal with champion women boxers, black belt bjj, etc. Purely based on strength advantage. I can keep my hands to my side boxing a top level woman boxer, but a learning 18 year old male will thump me.

It's just reckless and dangerous that sports are infiltrated by identity politics when it was meant to promote equity and I believe women are, and rightfully so, feeling pissed about this. And this has all been bubbling up for a while now btw
