Gender eligibility is a “minefield”, an International Olympic Committee spokesperson said today (2 August).
Mark Adams made the admission as he addressed the media over the IOC’s decision to allow two boxers who failed a gender eligibility test to compete at Paris 2024.
Mr Adams said: “This is a minefield and we want a simple explanation. Everyone wants a black-and-white explanation of how we can determine this. That explanation does not exist, neither in the scientific communtity or anywhere else.”
