Original Note:
The IOC's tests found that she had high testosterone levels, not uncommon for women athletes. The IBA disqualified her for failing to meet unspecified "eligibility criteria." IBA's official statement on the matter calls her a woman, and does not mention chromosomes. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/29/boxers-who-failed-gender-tests-at-world-championships-cleared-to-compete-at-olympics https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/06/sport/caster-semenya-totestosterone-limits-world-athletics-spt-intl/index.html https://www.iba.sport/news/statement-made-by-the-international-boxing-association-regarding-athletes-disqualifications-in-world-boxing-championships-2023/
