Abstract

In an invited editorial, Tucker et al. [1] addressed the eligibility controversy regarding the Paris 2024 Olympic boxing competition. They cited Lundberg et al. [2] concerning the in/eligibility of transgender women for the female sports category and identified performance differences between males and females alongside studies involving testosterone suppression. Several authors of the present letter also co-authored Lundberg et al. [2] and stand by that paper, but declined co-authorship of Tucker et al.'s editorial [1] and present here, with additional collaborators, challenges to that editorial.
