Genetic advantages are genetic advantages. They may manifest in totally different variations, but they absolutely exist, and give one competitor a massive advantage over another.

This happened because an Italian woman gave up, and because she was probably embarrassed went on the attack (pity she didn't do that in the ring, but hey), and was fortunate enough to have found solace in the arms of Joanne.
I don't want to see a man fighting women, and so it's good that it isn't happening.

There's no need for the sarcasm. It was IBA who claimed that both the fighters in question had the Y chromosome in that recent press conference. I'm not saying that it's true but one of the organisations here are wrong (or their testing is wrong), it could very well be IBA but it is also possible that its the IOC testing that's flawed. IBA also claim that neither fighter appealed the decisions when they were ruled out by the tests (actually Imane did originally but later withdrew the appeal)
