Sometimes the authorities don’t say everything they know. It seems the judge knew more about what happened than she let on

seems kind of simple. they stopped to piss at a gas station. drunk and rowdy bros kick down bathroom door for funnies. security guard(s) pissed and asks for money for damage. bros say nos. guard pulls gun and says gimme money gringos. hands over wallet. guard says fuck it and keeps whole wallet. fin.

Holy shit. IOC spokesman is really angling for a new job as Sports Information Director for an SEC school.

I can’t do this any longer. You people don’t follow this sport, and you’re saying things based on one article and a comments section. If you care to read more about this, and the very sensitive issues at play here, check out the Science of Sport. We know far, far, far more about this issue than is presented here.

“Nate Diaz, who is fighting Conor McGregor on Saturday at UFC 202, made a late entrance to the introductory press conference today.”

You’re joking right? I’ve yet to see her offer one solution on anything. It’s just hand wringing and finger pointing.

On top of all that, she proposes zero solutions. It’s easy to pick on other people’s solutions - I would love to hear what she actually thinks should be done.

In the running world TONS of people were complaining about OP’s robot legs. How about all the people who don’t follow running outside of the olypmpics and who know nothing of the details of men or women’s 800 just listen to the experts(many who are women) instead of trying to change a sport you know nothin about.

Actually, men can and do get disqualified all the time for having elevated levels of testosterone, whether it’s “natural” or not.

So you want to force her to reveal the results of her chromosomal test? You’re a sweetheart.

All elite athletes are genetic anomalies, but this is the only one being singled out

So your theory is that she’s XX, but she has testicles, has all the earmarks of an XY woman, and was treated in 2009 in a manner consistent with other XY women. And you got that all from an article that didn’t even tell you she had testicles.

There are literally a million articles that detail her genetic condition. No one has the test in their hands, but based on the 2009 response, everyone assumes that she is probably XY. It is not unusual for Olympic women athletes to later be found to be XY, so she’s not alone.

This article is garbage though.

Thanks for that. Those standards also sound akin to the ones decried (rightfully) in this article? Like, if they were asked how they would go about proving someone met the standards you quoted, I’d imagine they’d sound similar.

That paragraph about vaginal inspection is absolutely alarming and this article isn’t without merit, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to disagree with the headline, which summarizes that “The Debate About Caster Semenya Isn’t About Fairness.”

Shhh. You’re acknowledging complexity and the possibility that the best solutions may be frustratingly imperfect. You’re ruining a perfectly good Hot Take!

Well, Jenner is transgender, not intersex, and the IOC has had specific rules around trans athletes since 2004:

This is a complicated and fraught topic, one that deserves a more thoughtful take than the one offered by Ms. Moskovitz. This is not about some cruel effort by men to define and control women’s bodies, as she glibly asserts. It’s about trying to create an environment where women have a chance to compete and succeed,…

All of the contributors for Fittish want to fight you now, Diana.
