How is this any different than the former East German women Olympic athletes who transitioned to men after they were doped with too many steroids and hormones?

Those East German Women Olympic athletes were courageous, and heroic LGBTQ+ DEI trailblazers, pioneers, and martyrs.  Let's all raise a Bud Light to toast and to honor them ... and the ovaries they sacrificed to help East Germany and the Soviets win the Cold War.

‘Dire Conditions’: The World’s Best Athletes Ditch Failing ‘Eco-Friendly’ Olympic Village For Hotels
by Olivia Rondeau  12 hours ago 
 

Athletes are ditching Paris’s Olympic village for greener pastures after being forced to deal with “vegan-friendly” food, cardboard beds, no air conditioning, cramped rooms, and long commutes to their competitions. [emphasis, links added]

Team USA tennis star Coco Gauff revealed over the weekend that her entire team has gone to a hotel after having to share two bathrooms amongst ten competitors, the Daily Mail reported.


A TikTok posted by Gauff shows her teammates packed into their small living quarters with dismayed looks on their faces before they eventually left the village:


The $1.6 billion facility built to house the world’s best athletes was reportedly created with an “eco-friendly” mission — meaning stuffy temperatures caused by a complete lack of air conditioning and a shortage of meat products.

Does Greta know about this?  When she finds out she'll probably take a year or so off the time until the planet burns up.

France is cheating at the Olympics and they're doing it in front of everyone.

1. They're starving foreign athletes by feeding them protein-poor vegetarian meals.
2. They're negatively impacting the readiness of foreign athletes by making them sleep in hot, humid rooms absent proper air conditioning.
3. The French provided utterly uncomfortable cardboard beds for the foreign athletes, depriving them of a decent night's sleep prior to competition.
4. Hosting swimming events in Paris' main sewage facility: The Seine. This is a direct threat to every swimmer who was supposed to swim in that sewer.

Female boxer decides it's not worth her very life.

Female boxer yells 'this is unjust' and falls to her knees in tears as she quits fight against 'biologically male' Olympic opponent Imane Khelif after just 46 SECONDS following two powerful punches

A boxer deemed a 'biological male' today won against an Italian woman in one of the most controversial Olympic bouts ever.

The fight between Italy's Angela Carini and her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif took just 46 seconds, with the Italian throwing her helmet onto the floor as the clash was abandoned, yelling: 'This is unjust.'

The 25-year-old refused the handshake and fell to the canvas sobbing having received just two punches from Khelif - who had been banned from a major boxing contest before the Olympics.

Khelif was thrown out of last year's world championships after failing testosterone tests carried out to establish gender qualification.

After the match was stopped, the referee raised Khelif's hand in the air. But a visibly furious Carini yanked her own hand away from the fight official and walked off. Ignoring the Algerian, the Italian fighter then plunged to her knees and burst into tears as she said she had never felt such strong blows in a contest before.

Speaking after the match, the heartbroken Italian said: 'I'm used to suffering. I've never taken a punch like that, it's impossible to continue. I'm nobody to say it's illegal.  ...

Today new Title IX rules take effect. Democrats including Kamala Harris are perfectly OK with this insanity and have made it the law of the land. Will someone in the national sports media…maybe at NBC…make the connection and ask a Democrat to defend it?

Excerpt from the article:
A week of controversy culminated in an unexpected turn of events at the women’s 66-kilogram division fight, as Imane Khelif of Algeria advanced to the next round following Angela Carini’s decision to withdraw.

During the bout, Carini was seen heading to her corner twice, once to get her headgear tightened after taking a punch to the face and again to ultimately abandon the fight.

“I went into the ring to fight,” Carini stated via Italy’s ASNA. “I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much, and so I said enough. … I’m leaving with my head held high.”




Shame on the IOC and all the other woke tyrants who think it is "progress" to let men beat up women for sport.

Woke politics finished this fight long before it ever started. He should never have been allowed to compete.

 Imane Khelif, boxer in middle of Olympics gender storm, forces tearful first opponent to quit 46 seconds into fight

Imane Khelif’s first fight will do nothing to calm the controversy around the boxer’s entrance into the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Khelif, an Algerian who failed gender eligibility tests at the 2023 World Championships, forced her Italian opponent, Angela Carini, to withdraw from their opening-round bout in 46 seconds Thursday.

I love you ⁦@DailyMail but I am BEGGING YOU & other outlets to stop w/the pronoun game. You are reporting on a male boxer who fought vs a woman using “she/her” for the man! It’s wrong, confusing & is meant to dull our senses to this gender insanity.

Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer, is not trans.  Khelif has female reproductive organs but has XY chromosomes. It is a genetic anomaly.  Khelif shouldn't be competing in female boxing given the testosterone advantage, but it isn't supplemental testosterone but natural.

This may be similar to the South African runner Caster Semenya. She was offered the option of taking drugs to lower her T level, but she's refused.

In 2019, new World Athletics rules came into force preventing athletes like Semenya with certain disorders of sex development (DSDs) from participating in 400m, 800m, and 1500m events in the female classification, unless they take medication to suppress their testosterone levels. Semenya has filed a series of legal cases to restore her ability to compete in these events without testosterone suppression, arguing that the World Athletics rules are discriminatory. Wikipedia.

Who knew there were so many females with XY chromosomes or naturally super-high testosterone levels?
