The simplest explanation is that they didn't do any tests, and this whole kerfuffle is a very successful act of revenge on the IOC, Khelif, and the rest of the sports world.

True, but largely irrelevant. There is no evidence that Khelif has XY chromosomes aside from an accusation by one corrupt Russian boxing official, made after Khelif beat a Russian boxer. They have not produced the test, said where it was done or what the results were.

Here's an AP News article with lots of information on the IBA and why their claims about Khelif are suspect: https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-khelif-russia-boxing-b53b1edda21139d14a572bd35ca440e6

They want them to be so desperate to keep their 3 shitty minimum-wage jobs that they won't complain about mistreatment. It's slavery with extra steps.

Most of the time we don't look at details because we don't have to. We see a picture and get the jist, and AI is great at simulating the jist. I've started looking for details in anything that looks fishy but it's not a natural behavior.

Neal Stephenson wrote a great novel about this. Check out Termination Shock.

This is an actual Sovcit thing.

"It would have to be built" seems fairly obvious and I wouldn't call that a logistical issue.
