In a dramatic turn of events at the Paris Olympics, Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Staneva’s recent loss to Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting in the women’s 57-kilogram division has ignited a renewed debate over gender eligibility in sports. Staneva, who lost to Lin via unanimous decision, saw the Taiwanese athlete advance to the semifinals and secure at least a bronze medal. However, the match has become the centre of controversy due to the ongoing debate over Lin's gender eligibility. The International Boxing Association (IBA) previously disqualified Lin from the 2023 World Championships, citing a positive test for “XY chromosomes” as the reason for her exclusion. The IBA's decision sparked widespread criticism, with the association defending its stance by asserting that Lin, along with other competitors, had an unfair advantage. This has led to significant controversy surrounding Lin’s participation in the women’s boxing event at the Olympics.

    The Bulgarian boxer is infinitely more courageous than the two men posing as women and all the crooks in the IOC combined.
  • @mikebenson5498
    All the women boxers should stand down in protest and stand behind Staneva! These male boxers are cheating in the ring.
  • @rosscosan6647
    Get rid of the current IOC officials …. WOKE ! and gutless .
  • @goshu7009
    The Bulgarian boxer even won the first 2 rounds. She actually beat the Taiwanian, but the refery robbed her. Thats what the Coach said.
  • @katiemiaana
    They keep saying they are legally women, anyone can be that now, question is are they genetically women?
  • @lamaree9808
    So two men will compete in the Final of women boxing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  • @offshoretinker
    Stop bloody calling him HER would be a start to dismantling the whole trans nonsense.
  • @MichaelLFC____
    No way this Bulgarian woman should be criticised for defending being a woman
  • @henkdriktrautmann5611
    If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Sad for the real female boxers who trained for years ending up to loose to a male.
  • @doriankaioh1541
    The CCP would never allow this athlete to compete in woman's boxing.
  • @mitchjohnson9149
    The irony is Staneva has more balls than Bach, Lin and Khelif combined
  • @Elpaso555
    Thomas Bach is a regular consumer of ladyboys in Thailand .. that’s why he defends this individuals
  • @venom999333
    The women who compete against these guys should all forfeit their matches immediately as a protest. It will look TERRIBLE for the IOC & Olympics all together
  • @silita6193
    the roman circus now called Olympics continues
  • @xiretsa9166
    The fact that I, as a German, cannot be proud of being German without being immediately labelled as part of the right-wing camp is unfortunately the reality here in Germany. But I never thought that I would have to be ashamed of all the things that this government and its helpers do in all aspects of life around the world. We are world champions again: but in stupidity, arrogance, incompetence and madness. A "Thomas Bach" is just the mouthpiece of the new brown nationalists who are disguising themselves as Greens here...
