This is not evidence
“It was pretty observable that the last 30m or 40m of the 200m were impactful. And actually, I think that vindicated the decision about the 400m. If you are finishing a 200m like that, you extend the runway. That in a way supports the judgment that was made"

Mu ran faster than Semenya's Rio Gold
"Was it right to do what we did at the distances? Yes & I think the 800m ystrdy was a very good example... It says a lot about some of the policies we have adopted that we have that kind of race & people like Mu & Hodgkinson coming through”

Yes, actually you did
You had your staff produce a paper that supposedly said that advantages exist only at 400m to one mile
And in this interview (look up a few tweets) you reiterated that
COE: "We’ve never said that there may not be advantages at lower levels elsewhere”

Yikes
Will we also have comprehensive sex testing & certificates of femininity too? Naked parades?
"Coe also suggested that different classifications might yet come into sport in the future – including an “open” category for almost everyone and a restricted “biological female”"

Also, IAAF promised to CAS and in the regulations confidentiality of private medical information of athletes and here is Coe talking about possibly banning a specific athlete if she wins in the future
Coe's comment that the testosterone rules are working at the 200m indicated by Mboma's Silver is likely going to show up at a CAS hearing if WA bans Mboma (which I venture is all but certain post-Tokyo)
