And not before time. Lucky that no female boxer was seriously hurt at the last games.

Saw Sharon Davies on Sky news yesterday, being completely sensible, forthright and correct. Doesn't stop the woke brigade though. Also on Sky news Baroness Shami Chakrabarti whinging that transwomen won't be able to compete in Olympic shooting anymore. Nobody had the balls to tell her they could, in the biologically male category.

It’s guaranteed that one of the usual soapbox jockeys who are addicted to attention will be along shortly to suggest anyone who supports this has some form of -ism.

I would be impressed if they actually cared about the people involved, but as is discussed nearly every PH meeting it’s all about out their personal power trip.

In before the lock. The only staggering thing is that they actually had to take this step.

Didn't they "have to take this step" to provide an explanation of a fair testing regime, explain which events it would apply to and how people like the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and the runner Caster Semenya would be treated under the rules? People who are not transgender.

I'm pleased they have done this though and it's a shame it didnt happen sooner.
