From the International Boxing Association

"As stated, the International Boxing Association (IBA) feels it appropriate at this prevalent time, to address recent media statements regarding those athletes Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif, particularly regarding their participation in the Paris Olympic Games 2024.

We wish to make the following points in these regards:

On 24 March 2023, IBA disqualified athletes Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif from the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships New Delhi 2023. This disqualification was a result of their failure to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women’s competition, as set and laid out in the IBA Regulations. This decision, made after a meticulous review, was extremely important and necessary to uphold the level of fairness and utmost integrity of the competition.

Point to note, the athletes did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognized test, whereby the specifics remain confidential. This test conclusively indicated that both athletes did not meet the required necessary eligibility criteria and were found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors.

The decision made by IBA on 24 March 2023, was subsequently ratified by the IBA Board of Directors on 25 March 2023. The official record of this decision can be accessed on the IBA website here IBA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes.

The disqualification was based on two tests conducted on both athletes as follows:

Test performed during the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Istanbul 2022.

Test performed during the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in New Delhi 2023.

For clarification

Lin Yu-ting did not appeal the IBA’s decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), thus rendering the decision legally binding.

Imane Khelif initially appealed the decision to CAS but withdrew the appeal during the process, also making the IBA decision legally binding.

Our Committees have rigorously reviewed and endorsed the decision made during the World Championships. While IBA remains committed to ensuring competitive fairness in all of our events, we express concern over the inconsistent application of eligibility criteria by other sporting organizations, including those overseeing the Olympic Games. The IOC’s differing regulations on these matters, in which IBA is not involved, raise serious questions about both competitive fairness and athletes’ safety.

For clarification on why the IOC permits athletes with competitive advantages to compete in their events, we urge interested parties to seek answers directly from the IOC."

Let's be completely honest here.

Bad behavior is only spreading because it's being tolerated by both those in power, and those who capitulate, because they feel it's the right thing to do, or they're afraid of bucking the system.

Until people unite, and completely abandon watching these shams, this shit will continue.

When BLM was really big, and a pronounced figure in society (during the 5 minutes or so, they had most people that had their eyes closed bamboozled), the Kohls company was all with the sham show, and declared that they were preparing a line of clothing that would take up an entire section of each of their stores, where any shithead could go in and buy a "BLM" shirt, hat, tie, bag of corn chips, or condoms. When I heard this, I immediately called them, and closed out my account that my wife opened for me a decade earlier. Since I almost never wen there, not really sure why they cared, but they made the mistake of asking why I was leaving them.

I flat out said" You assholes are pushing this BLM Marxist, Racist shit, and you'll never see another God Dammed dollar of my money, ever again.".

After my account was closed, months went by and their "grand opening" never happened. I'm betting I'm not the only arrogant white supremacist (whatever the hell that is) bigot that did the same, exact thing. I guess someone felt it just wasn't financially viable to create more controversy than the BLM goon squad did themselves.

So, again... Until we unite and say "no more", this trend will continue to get worse, and not return to any point in which sanity presides over agendas.

Replying to myself, playing Devil's Advocate:

Hey T. You're a dick. Don't you know that diversity is the key to a great life ? Don't you know that when I come to your town, and I shit all over your lifestyle, your population statistics, and your life of comradery, nationalism, clan-ism, and sense of united community, that it's my right to do so ?

When I move to a town, it's my right to change that town to what I think it should be, no matter how well it was already working out, simply because my viewpoint is more important than your established, well intentioned, and happily functioning society.

Hell, I know what I want, and your opinion sucks. I can prove it. Read this article, and you'll come to your senses:

Bad man, T.

It's taken me awhile to appreciate your style, and as we know, I don't always agree with you. Nonetheless some of what you say is right on.

Thank GOD ! you don't always agree with me. That would suck.

I can't stand people who agree with me all the time, as I know they're insincere, and then I want nothing to do with you.

I mean it's like when I'm at the gym, and some particularly happy dude walks up in his pink shorts, all flippy-flapping his hands around, asking me how long I've been working out, and if I need a partner. I'm like dude, you're sniffing the wrong fire hydrant, man. What are you really that stupid ? You can't see homey don't play that game ? Send that chicky-boom over here, and let me talk to her. Just don't make it so obvious, as my wife is on the treadmill over there. I'm just wanting her to experience the green monster, and nothing else, as I'm way too old for this dating crap. Ugh. IF wifey left me, or passed away, I'm joining a monastary. This world is too circus monkey crazy for me to deal with, being married, can't imagine how batchit looney tunes it would be, being single.

UGH. It really sucks being so amazingly handsome...

There you go, cracking me up when I can use it. I just got the lynching posse all excited about a comment I made alluding to Melania and a soft porn past. oopps Amazingly handsome and wickedly funny. Are you like any of those biker dudes I used to hang with? There's something familiar... and I learned something special from you ROTFLMAO

Alluding to Melania and her past wouldnt faze me at all.

Being conservative, I dont particularly care about what other people do, unless of course, its indirectly, or directly affecting me in some way, which a lot of this garbage we're muddling through is.

How's that for a run on sentence?

Long hair in pony tail 23 hrs a day. The one hour is when I'm in gym making them swoon, after the hour of stretching my old decrepit s1-l1 ladder into its temporary relief pose.

No tats

No bike

No smokes

No drugs

No promiscuity

And now almost a year of no booze.

I do have a salt and pepper goatee and stash, though.

Pretty boring by even standards from the way back machine.

And yes...

I'm a dick. No question about it

I've lost count, but this recent beat-down of the human spirit must be event 100,000,000,001. It just proves there is not now, and has never been, a halt mechanism.
