James Bond will return in For Your Eyes Only
52 years ago on March 27, 1974, 'The Rockford Files" starring James Garner premiered as a TV movie on NBC.
that? That is to ensure fairness, safety, and the integrity of competition.
This is not about policing standards of femininity (as some - not you but I have seen these examples yesterday and today - suggest).
You seem to say their evidence is wrong. Well, assume it is right. That there is the residual advantage. What should be done to make sure women's sport is fair, safe, and has integrity of competition.
In sport for doping and the like there is testing which takes place. Do you have a problem with
of women's sport and to ensure the three IOC objectives?
If your position is no test, other than for testosterone suppression - where the scientific data (that specifically relied on by the IOC) shows residual advantage in power, height, muscle development &c, what would you do to police?
In running and swimming the advantages are over 10% (and as I said the other week clearly observable in basic data from the likes of the power of 10 website comparing schoolboys with female internationals).
So given those substantial advantages what is your starting position to protect the category
Rogge seemed to support in his statements in Paris, is clearly unsatisfactory if you are prioritising fairness, safety, and sporting integrity - so what is your solution?
The observable advantages for those who have been through male puberty and substantial. in explosive events they are enormous.
dismissing the likes of the Hamilton study) is that there is such residual advantage - even where testosterone is suppressed.
If your position is that any testing to provide an answer to the first two questions is intrusive then how would you enforce it? Self identification, or the passport test
with. They have prioiritised fairness, safety, and sporting integrity in answering those questions.
That then leads to the next question how do you apply it?
Your position seems to be you don't believe there is residual advantage. The IOC position (supported by medical evidence it referenced and
I am curious where your line is, and then how you apply it.
Do you think men should participate in women's sport?
If no, then do you think those who have been through male puberty with the residual physiological advantages should participate in women's sport?
They are the two questions IOC started
There are a range of experts with differing views. The IOC position is based on medical evidence and ethical considerations.
And regarding privacy intrusion you are aware how dope testing works, at every meet, under direct observation. A far more intrusive process than a cheek swab for SRY.
Consensus among who?
And regarding your point about penalising female athletes you are aware the vast majority support surveyed and interviewed such testing (as the IOC affirmed (again) today).
The policy today is to support and promote fair competìtion, competitor safety and sporting integrity
But generally, on the importance of directing remarks to the chair:

An unreliable poll about religion you say?
Is that as a tribute to the time he did the rumbelows cup draw?

The worst outcome, I suppose, would be the Iranian officials that the White House is negotiating with turning out to be a Canadian stand-up comic using a dodgy accent. Worrying with each passing day how out of hand the joke has become.
Very happy to phone with information from my i spy book of cats which I had as a child. It had all the big cats and some popular domestic breeds.
Poster on lamppost saying "If you have any info about CAT call..."
Not sure if this is a missing poster or someone who wants to know stuff about cats.
Is Batting for the other side a tortured metaphor about the deficiencies of the hundred for county cricket?
