Yeah, Hergie Bacyadan. The IOC is having him compete in the women's 75kg division as he's not on T yet.
Not on T...??!
The Olympics has abdicated all responsibility on ensuring transgender athletes can play and instead has federations decide (please inform me if I'm mistaken with this case). The IBA does not have specific transgender regulations, but the IBA Technical Competition Rules (March 3, 2024) appears to be the most reactionary, unscientific one I've seen yet (I've looked at like a dozen sports federations). Maybe tied with World Aquatics which at least tries to cover its own transmisogynistic tracks with pseudoscience.
Chromosomes? Lmao. This is biology -101.
