The team had traveled to the United Kingdom to undergo genetic sex tests that are banned in France but newly mandatory under the championships' regulations. Assured the tests would arrive on time, the French team slammed World Boxing's decision to reject them after the deadline passed.
If the championship demands a test that is illegal in France, it sounds to me like the French should be preparing to split the championship. Who needs gender segregation anyway? Gender is just one variable, why should it be SO fucking determinant? Use any of the multiple other ability markers, like the ones used in the Paralympics, to create interesting level-field fights.
