IOC President Thomas Bach said Saturday the “hate speech” directed at boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting at the Paris Olympics is “totally unacceptable.”
“We will not take part in a politically motivated … cultural war,” Bach said at a news briefing
Khelif of Algeria and Lin of Taiwan have been subjected to days of global scrutiny about their gender. Both women were disqualified at the 2023 world championships.
The Russian-led International Boxing Association — which has been banished from the Olympics by the IOC in a yearslong dispute — removed them from the worlds 16 months ago in India citing gender-based tests that are still unspecified and unproven.
“We have two boxers who are born as women, who have been raised as women, who have a passport as a woman and have competed for many years as women,” Bach said. “Some want to own a definition of who is a women.”

Exactly. These two are just mentally challenged men pretending to be female.
Only pre-approved protests will be allowed, comrade!
One of many reasons I’m not watching a minute of the Olympics.
We need a new Joseph McCarthy.
When you start out with a lie that big, everything else he has to say can be dismissed as either a complete fabrication, or the delusional rantings of a lunatic.
No sense of irony.
Someone pass him a note: YOU STARTED IT !
Another reason to NOT watch the Olympics.
OK with me...
He also said his IOC is against discrimination. I really don’t understand, how is allowing men to compete against women in boxing NOT discrimination Against women?
Some (non-indoctrinated) now admit McCarthy was one of the 3 greatest US men in the 20th century. (other 2 being Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan).
They are men claiming to be women so they can compete against women and so they can claim a prize that should have went to real women. Then they show these men beating up women at the Olympics and on TV. Some may call that fraud, and a violent crime being committed. So, who's waging politically motivated culture war here?
Hey I O C,
F-you and your woke B.S.
You are ruining any reason to get us to care.
Say and think what you want about Russia, but on this entire issue they are 100% correct.
Silver lining. Most Americans know about the infamous 46 sec. and most Americans hate it. AND, it’s easy to tie it to Kamala and the rest of the Dumb-o-crats.
This creep and his pathetic spokescreep are DISGUSTING!
fixed it
I had no plans to watch before it all began. This is more a reason I’m glad I’m not watching but it could be showing the greatest moments in sports history and I still wouldn’t be.
Dudes in dresses smashing women’s heads.
Finally, they ARE pussies.
Hate speech is speech that one hates to listen to.
