I feel like the discussion over what’s happening in the women’s boxing is, as per usual these days, somehow turning into a (anti) trans debate instead of what it actually is: a doping scandal. The two contestants on question haven’t just appeared over night, they’ve been competing in the sport for a long time, no?

It was a man beating up a woman presented under the guise of sport. It should never have been allowed to happen. End of story.

I met Clare Balding briefly at the UCI world champs in Glasgow last year when I was working at the velodrome. She was very friendly and also always made sure she had the most up to date results or schedules so she was prepared for what was coming up. She came in to our media hub one night looking for a space to work and was perfectly content to just grab a random chair and sit at the side on her laptop - didn’t want to disturb any of the other journalists or photographers at the desks by asking if she could sit down, just was happy to sit on a random chair in the corner and do her stuff. Pretty sure my managers would have bent over backwards to find her a quiet space but she was totally happy to just squeeze in anywhere. Didn’t expect special treatment or anything which I thought she might have done.

For everything health wise that Celine has been through, how’s its impacted her career and tours, if this is a last “send off” for her, then I love this for her. She looked stunning and beautiful and sounded fantastic and was absolutely the highlight of the night for France

This has NOTHING to do with trans. It is to do with chromosomes and biological sex.

I’m not saying this has been completely shit, but I am now questioning if we even need a tunnel between us.
