Olympics organizers have condemned the arbitrary testing imposed on boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting, which led to a storm of vitriol misidentifying the women as transgender or men. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) labeled the tests as 'impossibly flawed' and stated that it is impossible to engage with such flawed testing methods. The announcement was made on August 4, in the context of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
