Will any countries refuse to let AIN athletes into events. Do any still ban Russian passport holders in?

Suspect others will boycott as well

Becuase China pay bribes and Canada don’t.

Could see some European countries withdrawing in protest.

Could be blacked out on British TV. Scottish goverment getting worried.

TNT are turnover to be disbanding sometime between 2027 and 2029 and possibly leaving the British Sports Market.

I’d say there is a 50% chance the Uk will have no access to anything but the coverage the BBC has.

The Times suggesting Melissa Jefferson-Wooden is doping.

I’m pretty sure refusing a doping test gets a ban even in football

Even then that could happen. There are few European countries where goverments would back challenges, FIFA is the one to watch. The football world has plenty of white western female players and coaches who sincerely defend DSD players in particular in a way you don’t see in other sport. If there are people who refuse to take a gender test on a point of principle I suspect they will be footballers.

The England and Wales Cricket board is facing legal action over its ban. With the way the media writing about it they seem to think they might lose on at least some points. Many domestic British bans have only been covering transgender people and not DSD athletes. Wonder if once they 100% sure that they won’t be any CAS/Swiss upper tribunal/other legal battles might try retroactive measures? Or a stricter doping ban. Both would be harder to get past CAS (We all know how lenient CAS can sometimes be on doping at times)

Lots of LA based liberal people on social media think there is a chance of major backlash in LA from liberal activists there that might affect 2028. Particualy if LA gets a mayor next year like what New York has just got.
