My despair is hard to describe. My understanding is the IOC Paris created specific organization to determine eligibility in boxing for Paris Olympics. World Boxing (which protects female category) is NOT the international governing federation for boxing at Olympics. Of all the sports -- boxing should not allow males to beat up women. I am beyond disgusted.

Thanks for shining a light on this, and for including the Reduxx link, which is excellent. The fact that these men may have DSDs does not change anything with regard to their male advantage, and the Reduxx article does a terrific job of making clear why. Most of all, it is horrifying to think about the women who are slated to compete against these men and could well be seriously hurt.
