Olympic bosses dramatically doubled down on their decision to allow two boxers who failed a gender test to compete in Paris - after the opponent of one withdrew from their bout in tears after just 46 seconds.
Amid deeply disturbing scenes on the outskirts of Paris, Italy's distraught Angela Carini quit her contest with Algeria's Imane Khelif, who was disqualified from last year's World Championships after being deemed biologically male.
The defeated welterweight was hit twice, suffered a suspected broken nose and barely threw a punch before telling her corner: 'It's not fair.'
She then sank to her knees, beat the canvas in frustration and refused to shake Khelif's hand. After the lopsided fight ended Carini, 25, said she withdrew because of fears for her own safety. The situation was subsequently slammed by a UN women's welfare official and Italy's Prime Minister.
However the IOC hit back at what it called 'discrimination', saying Khelif, 25, and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, who was also disqualified from the New Delhi competition and is due to fight today (FRI), were 'victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA'.

More proof that we are living in a computer simulation called clown world.
The winner wins the gold by default after women refuse to fight him.
The IOC won’t be satisfied until a woman is killed in the ring.
You would think Kamala Harris was running the International Olympic Committee
What a farce, a disgrace, and shame on the Olympics. “When there are no absolutes to govern society, society becomes absolute.”

Here in vivid display. Not watching one minute.
It’s pretty simple... Do they have X chromosomes or do they not have X chromosomes???
If they don’t, they are not women and they can’t fight against women.
A death will probably be what it takes to end this nonsense
It sure isn’t like in the movies.
Well, it's here.
The final straw probably won’t happen until a tyranny wins Best Actress, stealing it from a proggy actress.
Utter insanity! The Olympics have been completely ruined by the disease of Liberalism.
Screw the “olympics”.
A different kind of Crying Game eh?
Feel sorry for the Italian women. Trained for years ..only to have a man knock the crap out of her..and ruin her dream.
All real woman boxers need to boycott . Morons at IOC needto understand this is unacceptable
All of those you list are corrupt.
They are actively destroying the Olympics. It’s based on merit and ability, progressives can’t have that. Therefore the Olympics must be destroyed.
“the IOC hit back at what it called ‘discrimination’, saying Khelif, 25, and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, who was also disqualified from the New Delhi competition and is due to fight today (FRI), were ‘victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA’.
Same logic as for reparations. Doesn’t matter the current target is innocent, or that the beneficiary wasn’t oppressed, its what happened elsewhere that justifies it.
