After the debacle at the Paris Olympics where two boxers who reportedly have XY chromosomes battled for women’s boxing crowns, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Back told reporters that there was no “scientifically solid” method for determining whether an athlete is a man or a woman.

Referring to the 2028 Summer Olympics scheduled for Los Angeles, California, a reporter queried Bach,  “There is no sign of the national federations sorting themselves out. Surely you must be worried boxing won’t be there in LA.”

“I will not speculate the position is very clear,” Bach replied. “The IOC will not organize boxing in LA without a reliable partner, and if these national federations want their athletes to be able to win Olympic medals, they have to organize themselves in a reliable international federation with good governments and respecting all the requirements the IOC puts on the International Olympic Federation.”

“In the IOC gender eligibility rules, it seems to be based on the fact that XYA athletes or DSD athletes don’t have a competitive advantage and we see here — ” another reporter began to ask.

DSD, or differences of sex development, were formerly called intersex disorders. But individuals suffering from the disorder still have either XX or XY chromosomes. Algeria’s Imane Khelif, who won the Olympic gold medal in the female welterweight division, has XY chromosomes, according to the International Boxing Association (IBA). The association also says that Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan, who has reached the finals of the women’s featherweight division, has XY chromosomes.

“Don’t mix, please, this with DSD,” Bach interrupted. “The question is pretty clear, and again, all the science, nobody can tell you at this moment where there is an advantage or no advantage. Here it is first and foremost about the question of a woman, yes or no. If you take further parameters. Look at the Caster Semenya case, which is still pending, and where the measures which have been applied have been considered by the European Court of Human Rights, as potentially violating human rights and therefore have been sent back to a Swiss court. There is, at this moment, there is no certainty.”

“Will you commit to a review of your guidelines on this matter, given the controversy on this matter?” a reporter asked.

“We have said from the very beginning, if somebody is presenting us a scientifically solid system how to identify men and women, we are the first ones to do it,” Bach answered. “We do not like this uncertainty. We do not like it for the overall situation, for nobody. So we would be more than pleased to look into it, but what is not possible, is if somebody is ‘This is not a woman’ just by looking at somebody or by falling prey to a defamation campaign by not a credible organization with highly political interests.”

New Yorker magazine said Vice President Kamala Harris‘ plans to run as a “generic” candidate with zero policy details on her website or at rallies might be “good for her campaign, but not for voters.”

In a piece published Thursday, titled “How Generic Can Kamala Harris Be?,” the magazine said it appears Harris’ strategy to the White House is to offer no information about how she will govern, pointing out what Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance has said, which is that Harris has taken almost “no questions from reporters.”

“She has not explained what, exactly, happened in Washington after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate; or why she has changed her mind on fracking, which she once said should be banned, and has wobbled on Medicare for All, which she once supported; or what she plans to do with Lina Khan, the head of the Federal Trade Commission, who is said to be unpopular among some of Harris’s wealthy donors; or much about how a Harris Administration would handle the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East,” the author wrote.

The magazine pointed out that the official website for the Harris presidential campaign doesn’t even “have a policy section, or an articulation of beliefs,” only buttons for things like her bio, merch, and donations.

The author said reporters should care that Harris “has not done a sitdown interview or had to answer a substantive policy question in weeks. A generic candidate who promises nothing on the campaign trail and is unburdened by any past might be the dream of electoral-politics nerds, but it’s the job of the press in a healthy democracy to make sure that voters know whom they’re supporting.”

Since Kamala Harris rose to the top of the Democratic ticket, many liberals seem to be “enveloped in a pleasant if thin fog,” @jaycaspiankang writes. Should we care that she hasn’t had to answer a substantive policy question in weeks? https://t.co/aiVyrbkpr7

“An unexamined candidate can become anything, and can work under the influence of anyone, when they assume power,” the author added. “This week, Wes Moore, the Democratic governor of Maryland, suggested on CNBC that a Harris Administration would change course from Biden’s more restrictive regulatory economic policies and create a friendlier atmosphere for ‘our large industries.’ Was he speaking on Harris’s behalf? Does he know something that Harris has declined to share with the public herself?”

The piece noted that Harris has “called for an end to the war in Gaza and has coupled her concern about the suffering of Palestinians with an ironclad support for Israel. But how does she plan on bringing about the ceasefire that she says she’s for?”

Another Harris flip-flop highlighted in the piece was how the Times reported that the Democratic presidential nominee had reportedly told “leaders of the Uncommitted Movement, seeking to discuss an arms embargo,” that she was “open to a meeting” only to have her national security adviser the next day state that Harris “was not in favor of an arms embargo. Why the seeming change in tone?”

“And how does Harris feel about the student protesters who will be returning to their campuses in the upcoming weeks?” the piece added. “We don’t know the answers to any of these questions.”

The author concludes the piece by pointing out that whether the press likes it or not, it will have to start “demanding answers.”
