So is it that the IBA sat on this information - it didn't have clear rules about sex testing until 2024 - until it exploited it when a Russian boxer lost to her?
(As I understand it, a lot of sports would allow SRY positive women with androgen insensitivity to compete - is that right?)
They refused to specify which test, contradicted themselves about which test, made what look like false claims about the lab it was done in, and the Olympic authorities called foul on the management of the process.
Which would chime with a spur of the moment decision.
