EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis): This is undoubtedly the end of an era for the Olympic Games as they have been established in modern times. Considering the overall circumstances and particularly the corruption of the IOC, the tremendous cost of organizing the Games in a different city every four years, the movement of the world towards multipolarity, and above all, the irreparable distortion of the Olympic Spirit, the stars are aligned for a movement to return the Games home to Greece. Provided, of course, that a fool-proof system will be used not to allow the corrupt politicians of Greece to put their dirty hands in them… How about an independent committee led by a Classist (Victor Davis Hanson comes to mind) and manned by wealthy businessmen, including Greek Shipowners as “Olympic Ambassadors” – after all, they are de facto on good terms with all countries on earth and they are about peace – not politics. Any thoughts are welcome…

Taiwanese Boxer Who Failed IBA Gender Test Defeats Female Opponent at Paris Olympics
Another controversial boxer who had been disqualified by the International Boxing Association (IBA) defeated a female opponent at the Paris Olympics on Friday.
Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting took to the ring and easily won with a unanimous decision against Sitora Turdibekova of Uzbekistan, the Daily Mail reported.
After the match, Turdibekova was seen in tears, and the boxers did not shake hands and congratulate each other before leaving the ring.
Lin Yu-Ting is the second of two boxers that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allowed to fight as females despite their failures in the IBA’s gender test, which caused the world boxing organization to disqualify them for sanctioned bouts last year.
Imane Khelif, the first competitor who had failed the IBA’s chromosome test, had so overmatched Italian boxer Angela Carini that the latter forfeited the match on Thursday after only 46 seconds in the ring.
In 2023, the IBA ruled that neither Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting nor Algerian Imane Khelif could fight in organization-sanctioned fights because they failed the testing requirements to be classified as “female.”
The IBA added that its rules were changed in 2022 to assure “competitive fairness and athletes’ safety.” However, the IOC decided to use the IBA’s rules from 2016 instead of the recent rules because the older set of rules allowed Lin and Khelif to participate as women.
After cherry-picking which set of rules it wanted to use to excuse the participation of the two controversial boxers, the IOC then came out to condemn the “aggression” of anyone who would question their right to compete as females.
“We have seen in reports misleading information about two female athletes competing at the Olympic Games Paris 2024,” read the joint statement from the Paris Boxing Unit and the IOC. “The two athletes have been competing in international boxing competitions for many years in the women’s category, including the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, International Boxing Association (IBA) World Championships and IBA-sanctioned tournaments.
“The current aggression against these two athletes is based entirely on this arbitrary decision, which was taken without any proper procedure – especially considering that these athletes had been competing in top-level competition for many years,” the statement added.
What a travesty allowing men to compete in women sports! Lets support Feminist Organizations to protest this and allow only biological women participate in women sports as COMMON SENSE AND FAIRNESS DICTATES
