Richard Dawkins's Facebook account has been deleted after he posted that genetically male boxers should not fight women. Could anything sum up more perfectly the dire state of free speech today?
A second female boxer left the ring in tears at the Olympics on Friday after losing to a "genetically male" boxer who previously failed a gender test – the second such scandal in 24 hours.
The official at the centre of the Olympic boxing gender row was one of Keir Starmer's best men at his wedding. IOC spokesman Mark Adams has taken a leading role in defending allowing a genetic male to fight women.
A male boxer competing as a woman in the Olympics despite failing a gender test won today against an Italian woman, who conceded in just 46 seconds as she cried out "this is unjust".
