74% Informative

Lin Yu-Ting and Imane Khelif are not transgender, they were born female, but tests show that their DNA contains the usually male-associated XY chromosomes, rather than usually female-associated XX chromosomes.

Their testosterone levels are more akin to that of a man’s, meaning they can punch up to 2.6 times harder than a woman.

This is considered grounds for disqualification by the IBA , and for World Athletics who have outcast Caster Semenya for the same reason, but crucially not by the IOC .
