horribleblob Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Interesting piece from the Independent today: Irish boxer Amy Broadhurst, who beat Imane Khelif, at the 2022 World Championships, has defended the Algerian amid the gender controversy storm that has engulfed her at the Olympics. Broadhurst – a boxer who beat Khelif in the welterweight final of the 2022 IBA Women’s World Championships – defended her in a social media post. “Have a lot of people texting me over Imane Khelif,” she wrote on Twitter/X. “Personally I don’t think she has done anything to ‘cheat’. “I think it’s the way she was born and that’s out of her control. The fact that she has been [beaten] by nine females before says it all.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is not a trans athlete as far as I'm aware, but has naturally occuring high testosterone levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a bit mad to even consider banning athletes based on testosterone levels, it's kind of saying you shouldn't compete if you're stronger or faster than all the others - isn't that sort of the point?

Tough on her but I don’t think she should be allowed to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 In the time it's taken Finke to win gold in the 1500mtr freestyle in a world record time I've eaten a 180grm chilli flavour bag of corn chips and a jar of soured cream and chive dip. Am I a record breaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
