Oops, Mboma may become a problem for IAAF

Agreed. No point in hating on her (or her teammate or Chand).

She is 18 y.o.

She is XX (according to her federation)

She is simply following the rules

No point in making it personal

Not her fault at all.

Just enjoy the competition. I never watch the women 200m (other than WC or Olympics). I will be watching all her races from now on.

Until such time that they don’t allow her to run anymore (if such time comes).

Good take we should leave her alone

Are people just assuming this means intersex, or else she'd be banned if it was due to doping?

She was removed from the 400 and not the 200 by World Athletics. The 400 is a restricted event for DSD athletes, the 200 is not.

It isn't just about T levels, it is high T, plus a diagnosis of a handful of very specific DSDs, plus WA's opinion that the athlete's body is capable of using that testosterone, that it is having a "material androgenizing effect" on the athlete.

World Athletics will use her performances here to justify restricting the 200 next year. Whatever events she performs well in, they will be restricted.

Was staggered that it was such a limited range of events restricted. To say the shot would have not been influenced by T is utterly stupid.

The women's events are for biological women to compete against other biological women.

Welcome to the Great Reset/New Woke Order 2021. You will know nothing...and be happy for it!

Khc - why interest in only the inter-sexed women? It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that they will dominate non IS women.

You’re rumoured to be a sodomiser of homeless people. Your point?

That would be physically impossible but sure.

With 5 times the levels of testosterone than a fully female woman has. To pretend that this level of testosterone is found in normal females or that it does not provide an advantage is ridiculous. What 17 year old girl do you know that can run 52 seconds in a 400M? Heck, except for Miller-Uibo what other female in their prime can run or has been able to run 48.5 in the 400M? The only other females alive who has ever been able to do this are Naser who was doped to the gills. and Marie Jose-Perec. Athing Mu who is a certified running prodigy is still more than 1 second slower than Mboma.

You know who sucks? Trump.

Have any tests been done on Athing Mu?

I can’t help but feel if these poor girls (who all happen to be from Africa) we’re from USA, or Bahamas, or GB then we’d just put it down to being the next ‘certified running prodigy’.

Do all females get their chromosomes and testosterone levels tested, or just the African ones?

Also, when people say this is all a result of a ‘farcical’ 800m in Rio - the only thing that was farcical was how poor the competition was! Niyonsaba and Wambui have PBs the same as the likes of Goule, Mu, Almanza, Reekie, Muir, Bishop, Grace etc. The only reason they dominated in 2016 was because the standard of 800m running was so poor.

If it’s such a crazy advantage I’m still waiting for someone (other than Semenya) to run faster than a 19 yo American who has never completed a pro season.

What I can say is that I will be watching that 200m final. I am sure that I will not be alone.

Can’t wait to see how much progress she makes in the next race (and over balance of the season). If Thompson doesn’t break the WR, maybe Mboma will. Anyway, until then, she is crushing the WJR.

I actually stopped watching the women 800m after Caster was banned. It was just not very interesting to look at women trying to break 2min. I started again this winter when Mu started to run well. Since then, I only watch the 800m women races where Mu runs. She made it exciting again.

Look at this idiot.

100% If Mboma was American, this wouldn't be a conversation.

Of course. Mboma would have been identified at a young age in a country with a more advanced healthcare system. I don't think it is fair to criticize Namibia for its lack of medical resources.

Ha ha.. typical response. World Athletics will just have to adjust their T standard moving forward and tell the DSD persons who don't adjust they can run against the "open competition"/aka genetic men.

Can you show me where you've seen she has 5 times the levels of testosterone that a 'fully female' woman has?

I haven't seen that anywhere.

How does she produce high T then?

SHe should run the first leg of the relay. She can hand over after 390m within the rules!

If she was legit XX she would be running the 400 not the 200. Some of you are as gullible as f**k

No, if Mboma was American she'd be heralded on here as the next great American sprinter.

She's Namibian so she's a "man" and a cheat. You people are f***ing disgusting.

Nah, someone in this situation would never be allowed to get this far in a lot of countries.

Namibia have obviously planned this. They knew full well the status of these athletes and that's why they unleashed them at the very last minute before qualifying ended so that the authorities had as little time as possible to make a ruling on them.

Thankfully they were excluded from the 400, but that hasn't stopped them completely.

Cynical stuff from the Namibians but I guess it's a big deal to them.
