Urbas: I would like to request a test on Christine Mboma to find out if she is a woman
One of the most frequent topics for debate has come to the forefront again in the shape of Christine Mboma, a 200m athlete from Namibia who is performing at the Olympics 2021.
The 18-year-old Mboma, who has hyperandrogenism, a condition that produces more testosterone than normal in your body, ran a semi-final time of 21.97 seconds in the women's 200m race.
Forced to compete by World Athletics the athlete has divided opinion with her performances, and notable criticism has come in the shape of former Polish sprinter Marcin Urbas.
"I would like to request a thorough test on Mboma to find out if she definitely is a woman," commented Urbas.
"The testosterone advantage of Mboma over other participants is seen with the naked eye.
"In construction, movement, technique, at the same time as speed and endurance.
"She has the parameters of an 18-year-old boy, at that age my PB was 22.01 and she has done it in 21.97 in Tokyo."
For Urbas it is an injustice that Mboma is beating the junior world records with supreme ease due to this hormonal situation.
"We will continue to think that she is fair and equal, and it is a clear and insolent injustice against women who are definitely women."One of the most frequent topics for debate has come to the forefront again in the shape of Christine Mboma, a 200m athlete from Namibia who is performing at the Olympics 2021.
