Olympic boxer confronts new adversary amid gender testing controversy!
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif’s next opponent has broken her silence.
The fight ends abruptly.
This follows Italian boxer Angela Carini quitting the fight after just 46 seconds.
Carini’s sudden exit has ignited a storm of speculation and controversy.
But what’s behind the drama?
Gender test failure revealed.
Khelif previously failed a gender eligibility test conducted by the now-discredited International Boxing Association (IBA).
The IBA, which has lost its recognition from the IOC due to corruption scandals, asserted that Khelif had XY chromosomes and high testosterone levels.
Despite this, Khelif remains active in women’s boxing tournaments, including the Olympics.
Carini’s explanation revealed.
Carini explained her decision: “I stepped into the ring to fight. I didn’t quit, but a punch was too painful, so I called it off.”
She added, “I’m leaving with my head held high.”
The Algerian Committee responds.
The Algerian Olympic Committee has strongly defended Khelif.
They condemned the controversy as “malicious and unethical attacks.”
