    Winding back to my first post. The Olympic committee has to decide. Decisions shouldn’t be adhoc.

    Athletes spend time and effort. They shouldn’t have to prepare for a competition where they will be expelled.

      What makes you think these decisions were “ad hoc?”

      What do you think ad hoc means? And what part of “we checked out this athelete and she met all of our criteria to compete in womans’ boxing” don’t you get?

      What failing do you think the IOC commited in allowing a cis woman to compete in womens’ boxing?
