Caster Semenya hits out at gender rule inconsistencies at the Olympics .

Boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting allegedly failed sex tests on their passports.

The International Olympic Committee should take some blame for the row.

The IOC threw out its uniform policy in November 2021 to instead place the onus on individual governing bodies.

The two boxers are certain of medals in Paris despite being ruled ineligible for female competition by IBA tests carried out in 2022 and 2023 .

The IBA has refused to back down, with Dr Gabriele Martelli , president of the IBA Coaches Committee , saying an opponent could “die” Dr Martelli: “Our sport is dangerous. Where there is an unfair advantage, people can die”.
