Rules for athletes with DSD apply in 400m but not in 200m...

So they may not have been allowed to compete in 400m? I guess that seems likely, yeah.

Right, but Mboma ran a 400m just a few days ago, and set her best time. If she was a DSD athlete, she would have already had to have lowered her testosterone level to compete at that meet, and thus that wouldn’t be a problem for the Olympics.

 

The only thing I can think of is this is the Namibian federation trying to kept an ace(s) up their sleeve for down the line, but even that doesn’t make much sense. This could perhaps also be her coach’s decision. Sometimes coach’s have a set plan for developing their athletes, and so they’ll reject participation in bigger events from time to time in order to follow that plan for success.

The rumours flying about suggest a DSD problem with the 400m but nobody can confirm this.

She is new to the elite scene, it's likely that WA did not review her case completely yet...she is not banned from competing yet but she might have been warned, and the case would have blown up if she tried to compete at the Olympics.

 

Namibia or the coach throwing away this medal (and even gold) chance to follow their development plan? Impossible.

      Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Qualification Systems

      Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.
