Lebron James is 6'9, around 280lbs, but can sprint down the basketball court faster than anyone else.
Anomalies like these crop up in all competitive sports.

It's not the same thing though to actually having a Y chromosome (which is what IBA claimed their testing showed) and competing in the female category, the differences between males and females are just too great, it's the whole reason why the sports are separated by sex in the first place. For me the issue is if these tests were accurate or were the tampered with/lied about by IBA. There seems to be no clarity around that
