Olympic committee releases statement on Imane Khelif after 'biologically male' boxer destroyed female rival Angela Carini in 46 seconds
UK DAILY MAIL ^ | 1 August 2024 | Mike Keegan, Ringside At The North Paris Arena

Posted on 08/01/2024 4:08:06 PM PDT by dennisw

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'.

Pit the two dudes together and let them fight it out.

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.

What a farce, a disgrace, and shame on the Olympics. “When there are no absolutes to govern society, society becomes absolute.”

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.

The LAST two things on Earth I thought in my lifetime would never be politicized to the point of USELESSNESS and those are OUR military and the International Olympics. Oh and maybe SCOTUS, the FIB, the DOJ, DHS, CIA, and Secret Service..

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.

They are actively destroying the Olympics. It’s based on merit and ability, progressives can’t have that. Therefore the Olympics must be destroyed.

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.
