0:00
with my children, and they were so shocked they were almost crying
0:04
It was clearly brutality. It looked like punishment. The truth is out. And you know what
0:09
People like you were right all along. You know what, Martin? The truth was always there, right
0:15
I mean, we all knew that this person had two positive sex screening tests
0:20
And the people that are to blame through all of this are the IOC. I mean, if you look back to those press conferences
0:26
during that Olympic Games last summer, The things that Thomas Back was saying are just are never, never excusable
0:34
They allowed male on female violence for the whole world to watch
0:39
A simple sex screening test, which was which was actually in place until the end of the 1998 when they polled the female athletes
0:46
80 percent said, yes, please carry on with the female sex screening. And they stopped it anyway. And the fact that they turned around and said that those tests that they had been informed about a year prior were not legitimate
0:58
when they were performed and accredited by the US College of Pathology
1:03
and certified by the International Organization of Standardization, right? That's who did these tests
1:09
So it wasn't some quack organization. So all of that that you saw at the Olympic Games in Paris last year
1:14
was an utter lie. You only had to see the pictures of Khalifa
1:18
upon the shoulders of their coaches afterwards to know that this was not somebody that they were treating like a female
1:22
because they wouldn't have done that. So everybody knew And yet you know we were being lambasted all of the people that were saying look this is not fair And most importantly it incredibly dangerous And that what above and beyond everything was really criminal negligence I think as far as the IOC were concerned
1:39
So the IOC has a huge credibility issue. Its reputation lies in tatters
1:45
But Sharon Davis, is it time to strip a main caliph of those medals and get them back and give them to the silver medalist, the woman who was beaten up by a bloke
1:55
Well, and the Taiwanese as well, yes. So we had two gold medals that were won by male individuals that have a male DSD, a difference of sexual development that only affects males
2:05
And we have this particular problem quite a lot. I mean, it's what Casa Semenya has
2:09
Casa Semenya is biologically male, has known that biologically male for an extremely long time because all of these individuals would have had male levels of testosterone and gone through male puberty
2:19
So, you know, when people say, well, do I have sympathy? No, I don't, because Khalifa knew that they were biologically male
2:25
They knew they were cheating. They knew they had an unfair advantage. Their whole team, their coaching team knew, and nobody cared
2:31
They didn't care what damage they might have inflicted on a female. So I have absolutely no sympathy
2:36
Yes, I'd love to see those medals stripped. The difficulty is, and yes, of course, you can give it to the silver medalist
2:41
but there was, you know, in boxing, as you know, there's bouts. So, you know, the individual athletes, and we remember the Italian, you know
2:48
who was down on her knees after 45 seconds. And that woman who would not shake the hand of Khalifa
2:53
was made to officially apologize. So remember that as well. You know, I mean, it really was shambolic
