The present paper is part of a series aimed ultimately at proving the following: Conjecture. Let \(G\) be a simple group of finite Morley rank of even type, with no infinite definable simple section of degenerate type, then \(G\) is algebraic. The authors consider so called tame \(K^*\)-groups. The main result is Theorem 1.1: Let \(G\) be a simple tame \(K^*\)-group of finite Morley rank and of even type. Suppose that \(G\) contains an infinite definable Abelian subgroup \(A\) which is contained in the connected component \(S\) of a Sylow 2-subgroup of \(G\) and which is strongly closed in \(S\). Then \(G\cong\text{SL}_2(K)\) where \(K\) is some algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. Here ``strongly closed'' means the following: if \(a\in A\), \(g\in G\), and \(a^g\in S\), then \(a^g\in A\). The proof of this theorem reduces to Theorem 1.3: Let \(G\) be a simple tame \(K^*\)-group of finite Morley rank and of even type. Suppose that \(G\) has standard component \(L\) of the form \(\text{SL}_2(K)\) for some algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. Let \(A\) be a Sylow 2-subgroup of \(L\) and \(U\) be the connected component of a Sylow 2-subgroup of \(C(L)\). If \(U\) is nontrivial then \(AU\) is a Sylow 2-subgroup of \(G\).
