@Deffid I respect what you have to say. Because you are a packer fan mostly. Buuuuuttt.....where are you coming from here? Am I supposed to feel absolutely terrible for talking and asking questions about this person the way I have?

Oh I won't shame anyone, I think the way this case became popular in the last few days, people deserve to have a proper answer.

Was that South African runner a few years back, with a similar case. Semenya. If memory serves she literally had to take drugs to lower her T levels in order to compete.

Obviously combat sports are a more sensitive case than running.

Kind of ironic when you think about. (Male) Boxers have gotten away with juicing for decades by manipulating the system. Yet this lady is (you could say) naturally juiced, and can’t do much about it.

Feel sorry for the girl, but yeah, I kinda fall on the side of saying bad luck. Like if one day, due to a biological mutation, the Flash or the Hulk is born. Bit unfair to let them take on those who only have access to regular steroids.

It's impossible to give every 0,005% minority equality in every single way of life, especially when it ends up discriminating the majority, in this case regular female boxers. Even while taking drugs to lower current testosterone levels, the foundation of growing up and maturing with higher testosterone levels will always be there. It's sad for those people, but like I said yesterday, especially when it comes to combat sports a little more self reflection would go a long way as well.

As for regular doping, I don't really care anymore because there's not nearly enough effort to stop it. But I also feel sad for athletes who try to stay as clean as possible, then simply lose to others who are juiced to the gills.

That is absolutely a valid opinion, one which I’m largely going to agree with.

Point is in this specific case this woman has unfairly been lambasted/mocked/embarrassed for something she has no control over by people who are completely ignorant of the case and confused it with the whole trans debate.

Reminds of that “me too” nonsense a few years back where any man had ever looked at a woman’s ass, was Harvey Weinstein.

And let’s be honest, this Italian lady has clearly milked the situation for sympathy, when reality is she was just crap.
 
Sometimes in life you have to hold your hands up when you get pwned. You either accept it and move on or go back to drawing board. Like my closely contested duel with @EOW yesterday. I admittedly raised the white flag. No mas imo

I’ll be back to get my revenge though. I’m going into a training camp. Stay subscribed.

Boss has got covid. Guess who spent all yesterday in a private room working with her? Yep. Guess who flies on holiday in 2days? Yep. Guess who feels mildly ropey now? Yep.

I'll have to be dying to not board that flight though. Don't think I've ever had covid despite taking very very few precautions from day 1. If I have, multiple times without symptoms.
