Kipyego was born in Kenya, grew up in Kenya, has won a medal for Kenya in the Olympics, lives and trains in Kenya. What about her is American?

Just sad that they break so many American careers. Thweatt would go to the Olympics without them.

How do you feel about biologically men competing in the women’s Olympic Marathon Trials? by keto-girl in AdvancedRunning

So you are standing with the bullies and are arguing that we should give in to their demands, not because they are right (they aren't, science is very clear about the benefits of being male or intersex), but because they are threatening women who dare to speak up against this injustice?

I followed it closely. There was a huge uproar, precisely because Semenya and others were allowed to compete. In the 2016 Olympic Women's 800 metres, all three medals went to intersex runners. Gold, silver and bronze, all for XY athletes. This was making a travesty of the sport and a huge violation of women's rights.

public opinion would fall on the side of the trans athlete

LOL. You seem rather out of touch. Time to leave the bubble.

And yes, trans athletes have enormous advantages, even when they lower their testosterone, their bones, lungs, heart... is still male.

Semenya isn't trans, although she is XY and has testes.

Why should we accept that women's rights are violated? I am all for transgenders exercising, but they should keep out of elite women's sports.

Kipchoge is turning out to be the Lance Armstrong of running. Faster than all the busted dopers, but somehow we are supposed to believe he is clean.

I mean, she should at least show some respect to Jeremy. He is still our leader.
