Engin Terzi, emblematic figure of arm wrestling and organizer of the East vs West, recently published a video on his YouTube channel to respond to the unfounded accusations against Elizabeth Mocek, after her victory against Aleksandra Ozerova in the East vs. West 14. Following the release of video of the match, some comments questioned Elizabeth Mocek's gender identity, insinuating that she was a man, which would make the fight unfair.
In his video, Engin Terzi strongly refuted these accusations, saying that Elizabeth Mocek is indeed a woman, married, and that she has participated in arm wrestling competitions in the United States for many years without ever having been the subject of such absurd allegations. He also stressed that, under his organization, never a fight between a man and a woman would take place in East vs West.
Addressing the issue of doping, Engin Terzi added: “I am aware that sooner or later we will have to start testing athletes in all categories”. This comment suggests that theintroduction of anti-doping controls at East vs West, the largest international arm wrestling event, is no longer a question of "if", but of " When ".
Engin Terzi concluded his video by calling on Internet users to check their sources before spreading misinformation.
