Sorry if discussed earlier but in regards to the women’s boxing debate, as far as I can read up to Imane Khelif is not trans , was born a girl etc and the issue is that she has high testosterone? Is that not a PED issue rather than a gender issue?

I cannot remember which Olympics it was but Tom Daley was in the Synchronised pairs. Try as they might they couldn’t catch up with the Chinese team. The exasperated commentator said “It’s difficult to see where there is a chink in their armour”I'm not watching but I'm guessing the Chinese are sat in gold?

One of the endearing things about Sir Steve Redgrave, a million miles away from the public school typePublic school boys and their parents.
That's below the beltI also don’t think it’s a grey area as a boxer. You don’t fight with your genitalia.

Watching rowing over the years has got me to a point where I’m kind of disappointed in silver.
Quinn - Canadian footballer - is not a woman by their own choice, and referring to them as a woman would be transphobic, but they compete with and against women in the women’s category.
Because biology. Fair dos, no outcry.
This Algerian has similarities to Caster Semenya biologically, and rightly or wrongly Caster isn’t allowed to compete in the 800m
The IOC could overrule the IAAF like it has the IBF but hasn’t (politics)
On balance, I think not allowing a runner to run (fairness to other women runners) but allowing a boxer to bash someone’s face in (fairness to her) seems a little inconsistent.
But, I also don’t like people saying she’s a bloke cos that’s not fair either.
