I just saw this on CNN too and I was surprised. If its NOT a transgender issue then what other "unspecified gender eligibility test" is there ???? If she's a woman then she should be allowed to compete regardless of her levels of testosterone or whatever

"Italian boxer Angela Carini, who abandoned her Olympic bout against Algeria's Imane Khelif inside 46 seconds, says she "wants to apologise" to her opponent for how she handled the moments after the fight.

Khelif is one of two athletes who have been cleared to compete in the women's boxing in Paris, despite having been disqualified from last year's Women's World Championships for failing to meet eligibility criteria.

The 25-year-old's participation in the Games has proved controversial, leading the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to defend her right to compete.

"All this controversy makes me sad," Carini told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I'm sorry for my opponent, too. If the IOC said she can fight, I respect that decision."

Carini, also 25, said abandoning the fight had been a mature step to take, but she expressed regret at not shaking hands with Khelif afterwards.

"It wasn't something I intended to do," Carini said. "Actually, I want to apologise to her and everyone else. I was angry because my Olympics had gone up in smoke."

She added that if she met Khelif again, she would "embrace her".
After taking a punch to the face inside 30 seconds during Thursday's fight, Carini went to the corner for her coach to fix her headgear. After briefly resuming, she returned to her corner once more and stopped the fight.

Carini later told BBC Sport: "It could have been the match of a lifetime, but I had to preserve my life as well in that moment."

The Russia-led International Boxing Association (IBA), which carried out the tests last year, said Khelif "failed to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women's competition, as set and laid out in the IBA regulations".

Khelif has always competed in the women's division and is recognised by the IOC as a female athlete.

"The Algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport," IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said on Friday."

Enlighten me what transgender has anything to do in this case. Why wasImane Khelif of Algeria Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 world championships after failing an unspecified gender eligibility test" if according to this article on the BBC "The Algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport," IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said on Friday.""
I assume she is a woman so why was she disqualified in 2023 and what has her opponent leaving the fight have anything to do with her gender or sex?


What am I missing here.

Okay 2 points I want to make.
1. I support everyone to live their life how they want, as long as they do not impact me or anyone else ina negative way.

2. I do NOT support trans women competing in women's sports, it's a simple fact if you are born male and have male testosterone, a bigger and stronger skeletal and muscle structure you will have a big advantage over women.

Exactly if she is a born female what's the drama over?

Another question do all athletes get gender tested in sports?

That's the image I found on Google of Imane Khelif

[britporn_mike]

Males have XY and females XX chromosomes from high school science if I am remembering right, am I getting my facts right.


"After clinching a medal in the women's 66kg division, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who has failed gender tests, gave a brief message to the naysayers.

Khelif is fighting in the women's category nearly a year after the IBA said a gender test revealed the boxer had XY chromosomes.

However, Khelif remains in the women's competition, the boxer feels, for one reason:

"I am a woman."

Khelif made that sentiment after defeating Hungarian boxer Anna Luca Hamori. Khelif advanced to the semifinals with that victory, and since boxing doesn't have semifinal matches, Khelif is guaranteed, at worst, a bronze medal.

IOC President Thomas Bach earlier Saturday defended Khelif and fellow boxer Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan. Khelif and Lin were disqualified in the middle of last year's world championships by the IBA, the former governing body of Olympic boxing, after what it claimed were failed eligibility tests.

Both had competed in IBA events for several years without problems, and the Russian-dominated body, which has faced years of clashes with the IOC, has refused to provide any information about the tests, underscoring its lack of transparency in nearly every aspect of its dealings, particularly in recent years."

It looks like this is all part of a classic Russian dissinformation campaign after Russia was banned from taking part in the olympics because of the war in Ukraine

Its the Russian based IBA that is saying she failed the tests (even after both boxers had competed in IBA events for several years with no problems) but they have not provided any details or evidence.

This is a classic Russian tactic of trying to stir up anti wokism. They've been doing it for years on social media and its one of the reasons we are seeing a rise in right wing extremism around the world

[BrasSmonkey]

here we go with the lies! fucking man!!!

[tacnet]

here we go with the lies! fucking man!!!

Why else would the Russian dominated IBA (headed in Moscow) state that she was a guy when subsequent tests have proven that shes a woman ????

Its classic Russian missinformatoin to try and stir up anti wokism. They want people to think that we let guys compete in women's boxing

They've been doing it for years and its how they influence our politics. Pretty much every intelligence agency on the planet knows that all too well

[TheButcher]

Putting a side politics which has nothing to do with sex determination, let me explain the biological definition about sex in mammals.
The primary sex determination is a male has XY chromosomes and a female has XX chromosomes. So the female produces eggs which are X chromosome and the male produces sperm where some are X and some are Y chromosome. If the egg gets a X chromosome sperm the result is XX and that results in ovaries making it a female.
If the egg receives a sperm with a Y chromosome it results in testis being formed and is a male.

This is basic biology 101 not fiction, open to interpretation or politics.

A simple genetic test could put an end to this debate. That is from a biological point on sex. How people identify is not my point here. Was this person born with testicles and XY chromosome or not, end of discussion, what choices they made after birth is none of my concern. By the way a secondary definition of sex is males have a penis and females have breasts, uterus and a vagina..
