    She is a woman who was born a woman and happens to have high testosterone for a woman, just like some people are taller than others. She just happens to be at one end of the testosterone spectrum.

    Just because you want baseless rumors to be true doesn’t make them true.

        “Higher than average.” Hence the upper body muscles being larger that average for a female boxer.

        It isn’t rocket surgery.

              Oh, they must just have gotten her “hIgEr ThAn AvErAgE” testosterone results from the Olympic village psychic. I must have been silly to assume that saying it’s higher than average meant someone tested rather than you just pulling bullshit out of your ass.

            Why would they ever make that known to the public. Would be a huge invasion of the competitors privacy. Kinda weird.
