Khelif has XY chromosomes identified by the boxing authority as 'not a woman' which excluded her. The IOC over-ruled the boxing authority. The reason she should not compete with women is because the boxing authorities determined that she puts their lives in danger. The IOC appears to have stuffed up sacrificing women's safety on the altar of "inclusiveness" and IOC politics. I will not comment on Lin because the facts are not clear.The bottom line is that Khelif and Lin are both women who meet the IOC’s standards for competition in the women’s category. There is no reason why they shouldn’t compete.
They're not men.
The IOC has made a mess of this issue for almost 100 years, the cases of Stella Walsh the American Sprinter and Irina and Tamara Press from the USSR in the 1920's and 1950's respectively being notable. The only consistency is that The IOC always supports the view that politics should trump women's safety and best interests
