What crap coverage: "...the usual griping by competitors" and "...Twitter bigotry". Shows how impossible it is to find balanced coverage of these issues today.

Yes, as a woman it's getting really old reading this kind of bias about men (so called transgenders) competing against women. .. calling it griping ... seriously??? No, the women are probably (and rightfully) pissed off that they have to compete against a man. Transgenders competing as women is a huge step backwards for women's sports.
That does look like a really painful injury though, and that I wouldn't wish on anyone!
Encourage everyone regardless of their sex, age or weight to compete as best they can. Then just have one category in sports regardless of age, sex or weight. For example just eliminate sex and weight categories in weight lifting as this will remove many prejudices in the sport and help to stop people being nasty to each other on twitter.

Remove all forms of victory based on superiority - learning to embrace both the inept and the skilled, praising all in a cauldron of complacency and the new social valency.
If you ask the "kiwis" about this I bet they are opposed to this person representing them.

Absolutely! As a Kiwi this embarrasses me. Especially as he/she has previously competed as a male. It’s a bloody joke.
So what will the 2020 Olympics hold?
This is such a circus show. Gotta get the popcorn out. Each Olympics gets weirder and weirder.
She should date Brucey Jenner
Looks like there won't be a 2020 Olympics for this person. The universe set things right for a change.
Is it the case that woman's hormones loosen up joints a fair bit? Could be that developing as a man and then competing as a "woman" bit this one in the proverbial ass as they tried to muscle it like a man and the hormones said "sorry Charlie!"

To be fair to Semenya, she (or he) grew up thinking they were a girl. This Hubbard is a man trying to CHEAT.
So it was the snatch that done for her.

It's one thing for these confused people to force their way into competitions where they don't belong, but there is a special place in hell for these modern day Dr. Mengele's who perform science experiments on the mentally ill.
