As discussed in other threads.

IMO where the sex of an individual is debatable best err on the side of safety and put those contenders in a separate group.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes, with the other men.

[jackthehat]

Only against other men.

Men should not  be allowed to hit women.

Shame on the IOC.

[piggynose]

well said jth!!

[Prudie]

Yes it has been discussed on another thread but those who defended these two so vehemently, isn't it a bit of a coincidence that both of them are now guaranteed a medal?? You think that is based just on skill?

[ladybirder]

Disgraceful.

[ToraToraTora]

no idea why the IOC seem to think they are better qualified to judge than the IBA.

[rockyracoon]

The IOC should hang their heads in shame over this debacle.  No he should not be in a ring with a woman.

[ParsleyDumpling]

Who'd of thought the winner of an Olympic gold medal in womens boxing will probably be a biological male!!!!!!
