This is more about the downfall of western civilisation than it is about boxing.

REPORTING FROM ITALY. It's all over the news here. Giorgia Meloni, Italian Prime Minister, was in Paris today and met with Angela Carini, who was interviewed tonight on national television in Italy. Carini trained for years. She competed in Tokyo, and soon thereafter, her father died. She had dedicated her Olympic experience in Paris to her dead father. My heart breaks for her.

"She" didn't win "her" fight he won his fight by assaulting a woman.

What a shame, he is proud of winning that way and she is upset and angry because years of hard work ended in less than a minute. Olympic disgrace ...

I think this woke Paris Olympics is the worst in History. Congratulations Paris.

It was sensible of Carini to withdraw from the match for her health and safety as a man’s punch is 2.6 times more powerful than a woman’s!

If he wants to box, let him box the men and I guarantee the bout will last longer than a few seconds!

There is a video in arab where the boxer khelif speaks clearly about his childhood in masculine words, like "we were boys like others" and many other descriptions as a boy, it's definitley a dude! The french olympic committee speaks about a female passport as a proof, neglecting the fact that the algerian officials has antecedents of delivring fake identity passports in the purpose.The algerian regime is similar to the cuban and north Korean regimes. In the last mediterranean olympics hosted by algeria they were able to present this dude as female as the algerian authorities had the control of the game. Therefore so many women were violentley hurt in the boxing ring with serious injuries, but no case was open for that so they dare try to do it again today in this international competition. The authors of this scandal has to appear before a court.

Can we please look at the chromosomes and stop calling *him* a "her"? He saw the 'Randy Savage' episode of South Park and felt inspired to make himself a career and legacy from it. Tell me I'm wrong, and I'll gladly apologize and delete this comment.
