The allegations that Olympic boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting failed an eligibility test for women's competition have been made by only the International Boxing Association.
I understand that the allegations are not very specific, but does the IOC do its own testing which would conclusively disprove them? I’ve seen a lot of discussion about the credibility of the accusers (low) and the ethics of transgender participation in sports, but all that discussion would be moot if these boxers are in fact biologically female with no abnormalities.

The IOC does have its own eligibility requirements and does its own testing. The IOC does not test for “gender”.
The boxer is not trans. How do I know this? She’s from fucking Algeria, she’d be dead if she was trans, not in the Olympics representing the country.
They don’t test her gender fluid??
They might still have some sort of intersex condition like Caster Semenya’s.
