Oops, Mboma may become a problem for IAAF

22.11 with 0.275 reaction time (lol)

…at least there is no chance that they will get her for a false start

Could always falsify a 0.099 RT

I thought the same thing, she is going to win the 200 and it is going to be the story of the rest of the games.

Honestly what are chances Mboma wins gold? Runs 22.1 but probably needs 21.5 in final can Mona do it? I bet Gabby T to win and may need to request early cash out.

Her. Mboma's a she. Intersex woman, not intersex man.

It would help with an event that requires more power, and Mboma is all about power, especially against non Flo Jo women.

Mboma ran one of the slowest first 50 meters in Olympic history and still finished in 22.1.

I bet her coach is making her practice her starts right now. Mboma can easily run 21.6 with a good start.

Very good chances. She had a .50 improvement in a months time. Her PB prior to this 22.11 was 22.67 a month ago. Remember she also ran 48 low for the 400M without breaking much of a sweat. I am so looking forward to her running sub 21.

That's a good point wrote:

With a good start, Mboma can run 21.00

Dude, come on. She is obviously a girl with lady parts. Intersex has literally nothing to do with transgender. I still don't recall her saying she was intersex, just that she had higher testoerone levels. Are people just assuming this means intersex, or else she'd be banned if it was due to doping?

There are only 3 ways for a "woman" to have high testosterone:

1. Take testosterone as a PED and get suspended for 4 years.

2. Have your ovaries go crazy, which would most likely cause lots of other medical problems that wouldn't allow to you to be a world class athlete.

3. Have testes, and not be allowed to run from 400 - 1 mile. (Which is why there were 4 intersex women in the 200 today. They are not allowed to run anything longer than that.)

Exactly why are people saying she is a man wgen she is clearly not if she was a man she would definitley be running faster than 22:10 if she was a man she would be running 20 high. She is a a variation of female but still female

You are correct a normal girl with higher testosterone

Explain why she scratched the 400 then?

Best of luck to her, but what I think people are missing is that it looks to me like she ran that flat out. So, I do not think there will be much improvement in her time this Olympics. In the future, quite possibly. Her start/acceleration is her weakness right now. Once she gets going she probably can rival the speed of the top females toward the end of the 200. Just like she did with Gabby Thomas.

She didn't scratch the 400m

She was removed from the 400 and not the 200 by World Athletics. The 400 is a restricted event for DSD athletes, the 200 is not.

It isn't just about T levels, it is high T, plus a diagnosis of a handful of very specific DSDs, plus WA's opinion that the athlete's body is capable of using that testosterone, that it is having a "material androgenizing effect" on the athlete.

World Athletics will use her performances here to justify restricting the 200 next year. Whatever events she performs well in, they will be restricted.
