Be it by birth, by hormones or whatever, he/she does not qualify as a woman. That’s a fact.
Khelif has been allowed to compete in female boxing by the IOC under their parameters, and by various other tournaments in the past.
That’s also the reason why the opponent of this particular fight, resisted to bump gloves after the fight, which is usually performed, out of rejection for that unfair fight.
This is not the explanation that Angela Carini gave to the public when interviewed. She said that she was overwhelmed by the fight, which she ended by retiring after 46 seconds, and could not think straight. She apologised for it. You are putting words in her mouth.
And history has shown Khelif was NOT allowed to fight agains other female atheltes in the past.
Khelif has took part in female boxing for the majority of her life.
What absolute rubbish. You’re no more qualified to judge that than a sparrow – which happens to have more genders and more brains than you, apparently.
It was hard not to copy and paste the whole article, I did my best to pull excerpts and bold important portions.
Summary-
Long story short, the disqualifications were done in a tournament run by an organization banned by the Olympics. Both boxers participated in tournaments run by this organization with no issues for the last several years. The organization hasn’t said why they were disqualified. The man saying the weird trans woman claims is the leader of the organization. He’s a friend of Putin and described as a drug trafficker. The disqualification for Khelif happened after she beat the previously undefeated Russian boxer Amineva 3 days post fight.
Strangely, nobody who’s up in arms about the weird claim has looked into who made it, when, the context around it, or an explanation for it. They just ate it up.
Nearly 17 months ago in New Delhi, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was disqualified from the International Boxing Association’s world championships three days after she won an early-round bout with Azalia Amineva, a previously unbeaten Russian prospect.
The disqualification meant Amineva’s official record was perfect again.
The governing body claimed the fighters had failed unspecified eligibility tests
The BA’s decision last year — and its curious timing, particularly related to Amineva’s loss to Khelif — would have raised warning signs around the sports world if more people cared about amateur boxing, or even knew more about the IBA under president Umar Kremlev of Russia.
The entire boxing world has already learned to expect almost anything from the Russian-dominated governing body that was given the unprecedented punishment of being permanently banned from the Olympics last year. In fact, it hasn’t run an Olympic boxing tournament since the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016.
The International Olympic Committee has decades of mostly bad history with the beleaguered governing body previously known for decades as AIBA, and it has exasperatedly begged non-boxing people to pay attention to the sole source of the allegations against Khelif and Lin.
The IOC had stuck with the previous incarnation of boxing’s governing body through decades of judging scandals, bizarre leadership decisions and innumerable financial misdeeds while it presided over Olympic boxing tournaments.
Not until 2019, nearly two years after the organization elected a president with what U.S. officials call deep ties to Russian organized crime and heroin trafficking, did the IOC finally banish the perpetually troubled group.
The IOC permanently stripped the IBA’s Olympic credentials and ran the past two Olympic boxing tournaments with a task force.
Kremlev also has made additional allegations about the gender of both fighters without providing proof, and people across the world have accepted his word.
So much is unclear about the IBA’s decision to ban Khelif and Lin last year, particularly since both had competed in IBA events for years without problems.
It’s even possible the decision was actually made according to the results of legitimate tests conducted over two years, as the IBA says — but the IBA has refused to officially say what, when or where these tests were administered, who evaluated them, or what the results meant.
The IOC has said boxing will be dropped from the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics unless the sport lines up behind a new governing body
India is a very corrupt democracy. As an Indian, I can tell you that sports are inherently corrupted to the degree in which money flows into it. For example, cricket is a sport rife with corruption to the point that the entire world cricket organizations and matches and tournaments are all suspect due to the heavy involvement of Indian corruption spreading its vile degenerate fingers into everything cricketing worldwide.
The only way you can trust anything here is if there is an independent individual measuring system that is completely corruption immune and resistant to external influences.
For example, physics, chemistry or scientific measurements. If a boxer is doping or throwing their fights etc. You can measure for those.

Aw cmon. Blocking people you simply disagree with eventually leads to a really polarized world.
He nor anyone else has an obligation to waste their time engaging with troll or other bad faith actors.
Not an obligation, but a responsibility, imo.
I agree with that as well.
I disagree.

Case in point.

Really thought you were serious. Unfortunately my first impression of ya matched that behavior. Lol. Cheers.
I dislike your comment that respectfully and logically disagrees with what I said, which contributes to a more balanced and productive discussion.

Yes blocking people on Lemmy will lead to a polarized world lol
Banned governing body that’s fueling outcry on Olympic boxers has Russian ties and troubled history
