Canadian Sports Ministry Turns “Blind Eye” to Gender VerificationTesting at Vancouver Winter Olympics, violating Canada’s Charter of Rights and Human Rights Laws.
Canadian Sports Ministry Sport Canada, led by Director General Martin Boileau, knowingly turned a “blind eye” to gender testing of female athletes at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. Boileau, made an educated the choice to “COW TOW” and “OLD BOYS NETWORK” of the International Olympic Committee [IOC] not to rock the boat with IOC executives, of which they attempted to hide from the public knowing the scrutiny and impact that historically gender verification and gender policies has had on so many women over the last fifty years created and designed by Professor Arne Ljungqvist, IOC Medical Commission Chair designed to as “Tools of Oppression” designed by men to oppress women.
Bolieau, was leading up to the Vancouver games, was notified by several leading Canadian sports leaders and experts including the Canadian Centre of Ethics in Sport [CCES] Canada’s anti-doping regulatory body and Canadian Olympic Committee [COC] that gender testing of women athletes would not take place in Vancouver, as it is a clear violation of Canada’s Human Rights Code, which ensures the safety and rights of all Canadians and those visiting Canada. The CCES’s CEO Paul Melia took it one step further, writing a letter to the the IOC, specifically Arne Ljungqvist, saying we do not support gender verification of female athletes.
The CCES, was the doping control body for the games, as being the host country. Arne Ljungqvist, knowing Canada’s leadership role and stopping gender verification and gender polices, that are inaccurate, unethical and in the case of Ljungqvist, medical/policy fraud and brand abuse by Ljungqvist of which the facts and science and collaborated expertise indicates. That in-fact, the IOC has been committing human rights violations towards women over the last 50 years. Of which this past October in Cologne Germany at the Play the Game Conference, Georg Facius of Denmark during his presentation with Ljungqvist present and Dr. Bruce Kidd of Canada as a third panelist said, “has only had catastrophic impact on female athletes”.
Facius asked Ljungqvist to step down from the IOC immediately, for the (50) years of incompetence and the gross impact this has had on women. There very identities taken away from them. Moreover these women that were virtually socially and physically raped because of his social and medical incompetence of the actual facts of around human physiology and gender.
Facius described it as; “The Major Medical Blunder of the 20th Century”
Leading world experts in bio-science now clearly stating with the science in hand as the IOC never did develop their polices on gender, only hypothothetical. “The science does not match the policies”. In-fact what the IOC is doing is and has been doing in-fact unethical, a fraud and are using these policies to gain access solely to women, “claiming them as unwell and wanting to support women’s health”, of which they do not offer to me. It is a legal tactic to construe the issues to ensure continued access, and lesson their liability.
The women are healthy young women as high performance athletes (race horses), only to be “claimed” falsely unwell when they meet Arne Ljungqvist and through policy (keeping the public and sport ignorant) justifying these grotesques actions and – “RAPING THEM”.
As history has shown sadly the last 50 years, own has only led to catastrophic outcomes for individual women, and sadly, the IOC violating their own policies. So very sad!
Boileau prior to new very clearly all this was going on. Prior to this, several Canadian sport leaders including myself, had correspondence and conference all with him, including Sport Canada president Dan Smith. This ongoing pressure leading up to the games and with media awareness Sport Canada turned a “blind eye”. Moreover when Ljungqvist [IOC] was told by Canadian leaders, that gender verification testing would not take place in Canada during the games, Ljungqvist [IOC] ignored Canada’s request and violated and disrespected Canadian law. Four Vancouver hospitals, when Ljungqvist [IOC] tried to secure a testing location told him, “to get lost and this is not happening in our hospital and or in Canada.” Ljungqvist [IOC] still did not get the message, and bombastically pursued a location, with a Catholic hospital using “religion” as a tool to eventually solidify a clinic location to setup testing.
This could not be more unethical, let alone corrupt on so many levels.
Matthew Fedorek Ph.D now Science Director of the US Anti-Doping Agency [USADA] a pathology graduate from the University of British Columbia [UBC], and once employee of the CCES, setup ran and broke down the gender testing during the Vancouver games. What make this worse, Fedorek has NO expertise on gender let alone association and or academic writing. How insane is this….? Again, men doing this to women. Sic.
Fedorek, certainly well aware of Canada’s as well the CCES engagement over the last 8 years and most recently to prevent and stop these horrific practices and misleading, unethical and now noted by leading experts fraudulent by the IOC, which has only had “catastrophic outcomes” as noted by Bruce Kidd in Cologne this past October.
What is very clear, Sport Canada led by Martin Boileau and Matthew Fedorek, engaged in unethical and illegal practices of gender verification which by all extents of medical practices and knowledge by top experts if medical fraud, moreover a series of “tools of oppression” that only physically, socially and violates women.
In the case of the Vancouver Olympics, as I was asked personally by the Canadian Olympic Committee to help educate games “Mission Staff” team on these issues, as seen as an athlete and expert. I graciously declined the COC’s invitation to do so citing, “I can’t tell people how to be human.”
On December 22nd, 2011. We had a conference call with Martin Boileau, Dan Smith, David McCrindle (Sport Canada – policy), Rosemary Pitfield [CCES], myself and John Dalla-Costa, one of of Canada’s leading ethics specialists. John said to Boileau during the call; “With all the data collected this past year, to suggest not knowing is no longer a viable answer!”
Bolieau, ignored warning and concerns from IOC Women’s Executive Anita de Frantz, of which she spoke to me and to Sport Canada in fall of 2007, of which leading up to to this time, Canadian sport leaders led by the CCES including the COC, engaged with the IOC to stop these horrific practices and policies towards women. Which just prior to that led to the social and physical raping of India 800m Santhi Soundarajan which she tried to commit suicide.
The IOC announced prior to the 2000 Sumer Olympics in Sydney Australia, they had discontinued gender testing of women. This is not so, and is in-fact false. Historically since 2000 and now 1012, led to more then 8 women being impacted, and the most horrific outcomes. Boileau knows this but still he let it happen in Canada in Vancouver and still today in domestic policy.
Even though, the CCES and Canadian Academy of Sports Medicine [CASM] have clearly stated publicly and in academic review, as being unethical, false and illegal in Canada.
Still Boileau let it happen and continues today.
John’s comment made very clear to Boileau, and Sport Canada senior staff Smith and McCrindle of which Boileau only backtracked and had no answer when asked the hard questions during the 45min. conversation, knowing where we were going with this. Thus Sport Canada under Boileau’s leadership, of which he has been clearly educated, of which in-fact I have given several presentations in Hull to Sport Canada personally, Boileau chose to “COW TOWED to the IOC”, throwing to the wind, all he new and the collaborated information from experts from all over the world in-fact, knowing that women have been getting VIOLATED and RAPED under Arne Ljungqvist.
It has been brought to my attention from the Canadian Olympic Committee as well Sport Canada, the IOC was upset at Canada’s engagement and supporting the women’s ski jumping issue, citing “they were embarrassed”.
We award bad behavior…
Just recently and to make a point, at the 5th World Women’s conference in Las Angeles, IOC President Jacques Rogge made the opening presentation to delegates attending the conference, starting off with a 10 minute video of (34) high performance athletes to get delegates engaged. Of the (34) athletes in the video, (4) were women. We can only assume, Rogge didn’t get the memo, “Women’s Conference Jacques!”
The IOC as corrupt as they are, seeing themselves above the law, international law and in this case, violated Canada’s Charter of Rights and Human Rights Laws. Of which, Canada’s Sports Ministry turned a “blind eye” too, and intern did the very same thing to oblige the IOC when the rest of Canada’s experts, sport leaders and Vancouver hospitals said “NO”, and for very good reasons to say “NO”, to protect women from harmful and unlawful and fraudulent practices that have only RAPED, VIOLATED AND HUMILIATED SO MANY WOMEN TO THEIR VERY CORE.
What makes this worse, a Canadian Ministry, Sport Canada made great attempts to hide and oppress it from the public and media, knowing that these violations were being committed and the pressure out there to ensure this did not happen in Canada. Sport Canada – the Canadian Government, chose to violate Canadian law to NOT upset the IOC and knowingly knowing making that distinct educated choice - and that a women’s rights were being violated.
Young high performance women athletes around the world and women I compete with, see this as a direct threat to ALL women, and gender verification testing and gender policy put upon women, as “symbols” and “Tools of Oppression” designed by dated old men, who are well beyond their best before date, like Ljungqvist wanting to oppress female athletes which we do NOT do to men. Women are forced socially to fit into a box, to which they cannot be women and be allowed to b strong bodied, let alone be the very best they can be as athletes. Continuing to fight the stereotypes, and as the IOC has proven over and over again, if you fall outside of that A typical stereotype, we are “going to get you, humiliate and rape you to teach you a lesson.” – and because we have a policy [IOC] as noted by IOC Medical Commission President Patrick Schamasch, in a conference call September 18th 2006, with Canadian Sport leaders, from Sport Canada, the CCES and COC, when asked this – Schamasch abruptly responded when he admitted to not have done the science to support IOC gender policy and had been lying to the public and global sports system said, “I can do anything I want”. Jaw dropping response, and leaving everyone dumb founded to hear coming out out the mouth of a leading IOC medical executive. STUNNING!
Suggesting by the IOC, very clearly “Not so much we feel we can, but we have a RIGHT to violate you.” MONSTERS!
But made very clear, if you have a “PENIS” you are good to go…. with NO boundaries and or barriers.
A Canadian Conservative Ministry (Sport Canada) has violated Canadian law. In-fact, when reviewed by lawyers, is of criminal consequences and succumbing to the “OLD BOYS CLUB” to serve personal interests, then to protect the rights of women under Canadian Law as stated under Human Rights Code of Canada.
Upon conclusion, with all the data and facts great effort was taken by Sport Canada, COC and VANOC, to oppress any knowledge of a gender verification testing centre in Vancouver, as fellow colleagues from several national sport, medical and academic institutions including the CCES over the last several years, have been key players to speaking out and challenging the IOC which has led to so many catastrophic outcomes towards women. Sport Canada, the COC specifically have been in these presetations, meetings and conference calls with the IOC, there is NO EXCUSE!
Many efforts have been clearly made by sport leaders, medical, academics, journalists from around the world as well (4) Vancouver hospitals denying the IOC access and clearly stating this is not going to happen here or in Canada. Great steps were made to ensure this did NOT happen, and they knowingly chose to ignore the warning and the human rights violations that the IOC was already under scrutiny with the IAAF leading up to the game , thus choosing to violate Canada’s Human Rights Code to “COW TOW” and self-serve to the International Olympic Committee, knowingly the violations the IOC was and has been up against, that has unethically, violated and oppressed so many women and that these polices and and practices had NO basis of actual science, and has only led to solely “catastrophic outcomes of female athletes”. Sport Canada, COC and VANOC were prepared to role the dice when so many warning signs had been given, knowingly going outside of Canadian law, to impress the IOC. Just Sic!

Ms. blog Magazine – Curious Tension: Feminism and the Sporting Woman
As a former athlete and a graduate student in sports studies, I embraced feminism in the 1970s. It seemed to be a natural alliance because I had experienced sports as personally liberating and felt that it offered females the possibility to become accomplished athletes, develop strong and healthy bodies and defy societal views of females as physically and psychologically unsuited for sport.
