They were tested and found to violate the rules they agreed to which in my book means to compete unfairly.

The rules stipulated in the contract. It was fair because they both agreed to them like everyone else does.

They are in the link I provided which you’ve read so you should already know.

Oh, I know. I know the entire document is literally all the rules and that the appeals process is clearly specified in the bold text you literally pasted a photo of in here.

You clearly aren’t looking to argue in good faith or do the bare minimum of effort to verify information literally being spoonfed to you. Please: Do better.

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. Point to note, the athletes did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognized test. 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.

You are arguing in bad faith. The decision was not regarding gender but due to the detection of “competitive advantages” which obviously falls under the doping rules.

Edit: link break repair.

Are you seriously arguing there is no way to be DQ’d from Women’s Competition aside from not being female? Come on.

I’ve already shown you. Do your own work.

You are lying. Period. I linked you the ENTIRE RULESET and merely pointed you to Appendix 6 for evidence of the testing and appeals process. Read the entire thing if you care about all the rules.

I’m not going to. Read the entire document, and follow up on the ADR once you know what that is (hint: it is linked in the rules I already gave you), and then the Prohibited List if you really want a comprehensive list of everything not-testosterone that can get you banned from women’s competition. Until then, you being uninformed only weakens your argument, not mine.

Nope, misinformed.

Edit: And to make how evident this is, I’ll give an example that is both obvious and won’t support your unwillingness to read and consider the information given.

Testosterone is one of he prohibited agents on the list. If its presence bans all from participating in all competitions, and not just women’s, how is there even a male category? The answer is clear and when applied to the entire list as appropriate for each substance and competition class you should be able to realize how wrong you are.
