When in 5y we'll have straight up the original of the tests we can see with our own eyes so people can't accuse this journalist of also lying, you can be sure it will be smothered to death by TRAs and lib left journalists, because they won't be accountable towards the women that suffered from it. They'll still find excuses. (And I'm not just talking about the athletes, but also the women who dared to take a stand and got harrassed by terrorists)
Anyway, they're men and could have taken a cheek swab if they didn't know it/weren't sure of it themselves, so I don't think they participated in good faith. Sex and drugs should be tested with the same seriousness.
It still doesn't justify the racism the athletes received online and it's 100% the ioc's fault, they were in charge of safety and fairness and this organisation is the one which should be flamed for not having clear rules, lying by omission and not having any procedures for intersex athletes. But female sports are not expendable. Contact sports should be especially extra careful with that.
Also stop assigning an arbitrary gender at birth to intersex babies and mutilate them. Genuinely, I've heard about how intersex people are treated by the medical body for about ten years now and it's never not horrifying, starting with the continuous mutilations and rapes and the misogyny.
