The hard truth about sport | Fiona McAnena in conversation with Helen Joyce

Sport is back in the headlines after World Boxing announced it will sex-test competitors, naming Algeria’s Olympic gold medallist Imane Khelif.

In the first episode of our three-part series, Fiona McAnena exposes the hard truth about male athletes competing in the female category and how governing bodies are failing women under the banner of “inclusion.”

Fiona talks to Helen Joyce about how we got here: from Renee Richards to Lia Thomas and Emily Bridges, and DSD athletes like Caster Semenya and Khelif. They discuss who’s being silenced, and what it will take to fix this.

Tune in next week for the next episode!
