I gotta admit, the way the #BBC has been reporting on the situation with Imane Khelif has me questioning my decision to read their work.
Take this piece:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2njjm4e2po
"The Algerian boxer won gold in Paris, despite being disqualified from last year's World Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA), after she was reported to have failed gender eligibility tests in 2023."
Yeah because the tests were BS. But they don't mention that until the very end of the piece.
