This is Alicia Scott Weigel and American writer who has openly discussed the fact that she is XY with Complete Androgen Insensitivity syndrome, She has never been exposed to the effects of androgens, particularly not at puberty, so her musculo-skeletal body habitus is female
This is not surprising from the Saudis. It might be the case that Khelif has a DSD (though there’s no evidence of that so far). DSDs are hereditary, and thus they are much more common in countries with high levels of consanguinity (cousin marriage). In Saudi Arabia, about 50% of

And as an endocrinologist (who has been President of the Society for Endocrinology ) I can confirm that both JK Rowling and John Pike are completely scientifically correct on this matter
With women in contact sport. In 5 ARD (see caster Semenza and fellow 800m medalists at Rio) while external genitalia do not appear clearly male at birth testes are present and puberty develops Inder the influence of very high testosterone. This changes many fundamental aspects
Of skeletal biomechanics as well as other phenotypes all of which are massively advantageous in many sports. Given their physical appearance and the unchallenged assertion that they tested positive for Y chromosome it seems extremely likely that the two boxers have 5 ARD./
@ChengWeiLai2
A couple of XY DSDs don't carry male characteristics/advantage into the female category. Statistically, one might expect them to appear at precisely the same frequency they appear in the general population.
Some XY DSDs *do* carry male characteristics/advantage into the female
There are several conditions where ppl with XY do not develop male secondary sexual characteristics. Eg CAIS, Swyers, 17 B HSD3 deficiency. Their body shapes and strengths are similar to those of the average female. I don’t think there is any issue with these ppl competing
And as an endocrinologist (who has been President of the Society for Endocrinology ) I can confirm that both JK Rowling and John Pike are completely scientifically correct on this matter
To clarify. I have no personal or professional access to the relevant tests. The confirmation by at least one boxer's trainer that they had XY chromosomes (and that was the reason for the previous ban) combined with the striking body habitus easily observed by an experienced/
endocrinologist watching the boxing match make 5ARD (o, less likely,PAIS) extraordinarily likely as a diagnosis and other explanations highly implausible. Which is why I strongly supported the hypotheses proposed by JK Rowling and John Pike as best fitting the available data.
On the basis of all data available to them they were "complete scientifically correct" in drawing the conclusions that they did. Of course if the boxers concerned were willing to make their karyotype results publicly known then any room for doubt could be removed.
