So just to be clear since none of this addresses 80% of what I said, there's no reason for the IBA keeping the results of her failed tests a secret and you've never watched any women's combat sports prior to this in your life? Color me shocked. I hope your uninformed takes on the next scandal you jump in on are better received I guess. Or maybe you can just listen and become better informed? Nah that's a pipe dream I'm sure.
I didn't respond to that question because its irrelevant. What does me watching female combat sports have to do with anything? (Nothing, its just an attempted jab at me) meanwhile you didn't respond to all my claims, while mine are actually related to the argument.
But I'll answer your question despite its purpose & irrelevance. My daughter is a wrestler and I'm a kick boxer & brazilian jujitsu artist, so yes I keep up on female sports because of my child & I have a general care for fighter safety because I'm empathetic, have personally seen people get hurt and I know how dangerous combat sports are. If you're going to try to setup gotcha's that's exactly why I've ended the discussion.
As for IBA, I assume like most company's they don't publically release medical tests of their fighters. If they have a history of posting sex results then let me know. If they have a history and she consented for it to be shown, them also let me know. I would assume they either have a policy against showing it, or they didn't acquire consent to show it, that's a very reasonable answer but you won't accept anything.
The same way you claim DSD can't be argued, you can't argued against the tests because you don't have proof it was faked just circumstantial evidence because their "corrupt" and "fighter loss", just like people on the opposite side have circumstantial evidence as well.
YOU made the claim that she had DSD with no proof. What else needs to be said.
I'm sure you really care about fighter safety, unless it's witch hunting athletes online with no evidence, then it's open season. If you knew anything about the sport this conversation wouldn't be happening. She was the better boxer in all her bouts by a wide margin.
Why don't you take that whole paragraph about the IBA and apply it to the IOC?
I never made the claim she had DSD, I stated it's ambiguous and no one knows, while you're acting certain you know for sure. I put forward proof of this ambiguity while you put forward zero rebuttal and nonsensical questions like "do you watch female sports?". You're trying to avoid all accountability and intellectual dialogue. Have a good one
Yeah I'm the one avoiding accountability haha
