Social media from IOC is already invaded by bots that post Russian stuff, saying they are best friends with Putin, etc all the time, is unbearable. I think they are used to it -

Here...I've cleaned it up a bit for anyone who does want to filter, etc. (@Josh) I can now easily sort to figure out the order that Medals will be awarded. LA28OlympicGamesCompetitionScheduleByEventV3.0.xlsx -

Try saying that in trans and liberal circles. IOC needs to be prepared for woke protestors causing issues over the coming where. -

No more so than the .100 false start rule in athletics, or the carrying rule in basketball, weight limits in boxing etc etc. A decision has to be made somewhere, some cases will always be borderline, someone will always feel cheated. -
I think IOC took advantage of the timing to take this decision for sure. It brings a good rep with the US government and kind of 'passes the blame' as well for any issue. I don't think they liked all that talk from Paris as well. Total speculation here, but wouldn't be surprised if this was or could be used as leverage to future decisions (Russia's return, making sure all athletes-delegations are there), although this is very naïve.

My guess is Women’s football is where we will see some players refusing to go to the Olympics in protest at having to take a test. Feels like that’s one here they are some biological women who would do that. Maybe a few others Could be the odd country where legal or political challenges cause issue for events. Particularly ones where local authorities have more power as urban ones where majority of sporting event are held more likely to be left wing and liberal. Has Caster Semenya ever actually said her chromosomes. The BBC report it as fact but I don’t remember her ever saying it or any official document saying it either.
