The buck stops at my ass
It's really wild when you consider that the women's super-heavyweight category is weak as poo poo overall anyway. Women's weightlifting is not a popular sport to invest in anyway, and fat women least of all. So you only have China, Russia, and North-Korea who have credible competitors. North-Korea is out all together, Russia might've been able to send someone under a neutral flag despite being banned for systemic doping violations, but Kashirina got a personal suspension for doping violations again, so she's out too. The only real question is how embarrassingly huge the Chinese competitor's lead over second place is going to be.

In a sport where it's not a question if anyone will get caught doping, but how many disqualifications we'll see this time. But sure, the trans women in the least competitive category, totaling some 50 kgs below the world record, which would barely get you in the A group in the lightest men's category, is somehow spoiling the competition. Unlike the entire women's 2012 -75kg podium getting disqualified after retesting positive for instance.
