Journalist Peter Badel discusses the latest developments on the XY chromosomes Olympics scandal after Chinese Taipei fighter Lin Yu-ting defeated her Bulgarian opponent. Bulgarian fighter Svetlana Staneva made an “X“ sign with her fingers in the ring after her bout to symbolise two X chromosomes. “There is a lot of athletes disgusted with this, they are embarrassed by it, they want some clarity and it is time for the IOC to step up,” Mr Badel said.
