Boxer who failed gender test

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has ignited controversy at the Paris Olympics after winning her opening bout against Italian Angela Carini in just 46 seconds. Khelif, who had previously failed a gender eligibility test due to having XY chromosomes, was allowed to compete despite her disqualification from the World Championships. Following her victory, Carini expressed distress and refused to shake Khelif's hand, igniting further debate over Khelif's participation in women's boxing. Irish champion Amy Broadhurst, who previously defeated Khelif, defended her, stating that Khelif's situation is beyond her control. The International Olympic Committee's decision to allow Khelif and others with similar backgrounds to compete has led to significant scrutiny and division in the sport. Amidst the uproar, the IBA has been criticized for its handling of gender eligibility tests, further complicating the issue.
