It’s quite common to test for testosterone. For one because synthetic testosterone is on the doping list. That’s also why the IBA test is so suspicious. If her testosterone was at male levels, that should have been discovered way earlier with a doping test.

Again, the fake Russian test failed her for an unknown test but said the test WASN'T about testosterone. The gender thing has nothing to do with Russia.

  1. Russian official fails her for unknown reasons not repeated to testosterone.
  2. Transphobes call her a male for unknown reasons.
  3. Imane is tested for doping as frequently as other competitors.

Yep. They won't say what the test was, they won't say who administered it and they won't say what the results were.

I said to someone else who was arguing that it must have been a legitimate test, "what if the test was an official walking into a room with her, saying, 'I know a man when I see one,' and walking out?" Because that could absolutely have been the test. We have zero clue apart from it not being a testosterone test.

It's weird how people are filling in details into the Russian test. Russia was just salty their undefeated girl lost.
