    Whatever that decision is the Olympic committee should expand rules and regulations to cover edge cases. Decisions shouldn’t be adhoc. It’s not like we didn’t know about hunan genetic makeup before this Olympics.

      Injecting performance enhancing substances like testosterone is not allowed. So the rule is already there. The reason for injecting them is irrelevant and not part of the rule. If we can simply use a counter argument to nullify a rule that doesn’t really make it a rule anymore. We should however add possible edge cases in the future, but that doesn’t mean that we should be using opinions in current rulings before finding something that suits everybody.

      Keep in mind that I’m not claiming anything about Imane Khelif.
