A boxer deemed a 'biological male' today won against an Italian woman in one of the most controversial Olympic bouts ever.
The fight between Italy's Angela Carini and her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif took just 46 seconds, with the Italian throwing her helmet onto the floor as the clash was abandoned, yelling: 'This is unjust.'
The 25-year-old refused the handshake and fell to the canvas sobbing having received just two punches from Khelif - who had been banned from a major boxing contest before the Olympics.
Khelif was thrown out of last year's world championships after failing testosterone tests carried out to establish gender qualification.
After the match was stopped, the referee raised Khelif's hand in the air. But a visibly furious Carini yanked her own hand away from the fight official and walked off.
Ignoring the Algerian, the Italian fighter then plunged to her knees and burst into tears as she said she had never felt such strong blows in a contest before.
Speaking after the match, the heartbroken Italian said: 'I'm used to suffering. I've never taken a punch like that, it's impossible to continue. I'm nobody to say it's illegal.
'I got into the ring to fight. But I didn't feel like it anymore after the first minute. I started to feel a strong pain in my nose. I didn't give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I'm leaving with my head held high.'

Justice? HAH, no such animal, it went extinct.
...you have to admit, women DID do this to themselves.
Yep they started a societal movement that is deceptive at best with their “girl power” and “a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle” crap.
To be fair they are called lady balls.
Yeah, in this Algerian boxer’s case (Imane Khelif) it is “Swyer Syndrome” (XY Gonadal Dysgenesis) 1 in 80,000 births genetic defect. “She” apparently did not get “HRT” (hormone replacement therapy) as a teen (rural Algeria heath care probably very lacking) so not many outward female characteristics (breasts).

Would probably be best for all involved if the IOC followed the IBA guidelines/testing:

Simple. Send Tyson over to Paris, put a wig on him, and unleash him on this freak. If it wasn’t a woman before, it will be.
[People need to stop watching and financially supporting the Olympics.]
I’ve been doing that for about 30 years now. I don’t even remember why I started.
“Constantine”…Great movie…
