Leadership means accountability. If tough questions lead to scapegoating staff instead of facing the media, that’s not leadership — it’s deflection. #kirstycoventry#MilanoCortinaOlympics2026
It’s really hard to imagine how cynical and heartless someone must be to disqualify a person from the Olympic Games without any real reason and then shed crocodile tears hoping for sympathy.
The hypocrisy is simply unbelievable.
IOC president Coventry has three propagandists with the rank of directors who are swallowing up millions during the Olympic cycle: Adams, Klaue, Pearce.
Will she, who once again embarrassed herself terribly yesterday, fire directors – or will she not survive her term of office?
We were honoured to have Evangeline join the Humans of Sport Team as an #AthleteAmbassador at the #PlaytheGame Conference in #Tampere this month. Evangeline’s story is a powerful reminder that sex eligibility regulations can harm any woman competing in #sports
In this chapter of the #playthegame conference in #tampere , we are honoured to share the powerful story of Annet Negesa — one of our #athleteambassadors who became one of the first #whistleblowers to speak out against injustice in sport.
I owe my intersectional feminist lens to my profs @JadavpurU. With 20 yrs in human rights in global sport, I’ve always stood for equity & justice. I stand by my comment. Noise isn’t power, & outrage isn’t truth — it’s just demagoguery pulling the strings. @HoS_org@Sport_Rights
Grateful to @Sport_Rights for raising this issue. #SoneErikainen@MicheleKrech#KatrinaKarkazis also wrote that genetic sex testing is unscientific, discriminatory & legally vulnerable, exposing athletes & officials to major rights & legal risks https://t.co/vrMa8XmqT9 @HoS_org
🚨 Over 550 boxers from more than 65 countries are competing in the 2025 #WorldBoxing Championship in Liverpool. 🥊
Yet, due to World Boxing’s current sex testing policy – not based on any real science or disproportionate advantage – some women athletes may be excluded.
Habemus #Seraing ruling!
Nutshell: The #CAS is from now on firmly under the supervision of the #CJEU and the national courts of the Member States.
Here is a quick thread on the key holdings of the judgment 👇👇👇

As part of our ongoing coverage of the landmark Semenya judgment, we have reached out to several athletes and legal experts for their insights. Today, we share a perspective from Carlos Sayao, a member of Caster Semenya’s team. Stay tuned as we continue to feature several voices!
While we wish @CasterSemeny_a , the very best, we share glimpses of how she and several athletes came together to share experiences and plan for a brighter future at the Humans of Sport Bootcamp in Strasbourg a few weeks back.
Waking up this morning only realising what I have just done after 15 years . The feeling is like it’s just the beginning of demonstrating the kind of leadership and sports governance I want to see when I take my role.
Reflecting on my privilege to have extraordinary colleagues to co-develop research and programmes for gender equality @women_in_sport@wish_pathway@UniofHerts. Proud that they are the ones advocating for the systemic changes needed for gender equality within their communities.
The next 8 years will bring a wave of challenges for the IOC. With fundamental rights facing unprecedented challenges worldwide, it is essential that the next IOC president leads with a clear, unwavering commitment to human rights. Here is our @Sport_Rights analysis:
With finals weekend starting tomorrow, I looked through the archives to see how many Australian Open finalists have faced doping cases at some point in their career.

In '16, a multiple sclerosis patient died after entering an oxygen chamber in a Melbourne clinic.
The practitioner was once ‘struck off’ and embroiled in a supplement scandal.
He was still behind Novak Djokovic’s box at the ‘23, ‘24 Australian Opens.
