IOC President Faces Backlash Over Gender Identification Comments

Thomas Bach claims no 'scientifically solid' method exists to distinguish men from women, sparking controversy amid ongoing Olympic debates.

Bach's remarks follow disputes over two boxers with male chromosomes competing in women's events.
The International Boxing Association previously disqualified the athletes for failing gender tests.
Critics argue that biological markers like chromosomes should determine eligibility for women's sports.
The IOC's current stance allows athletes with female-marked passports to compete in women's categories.
Bach's comments have intensified the debate on fairness and inclusivity in sports.
