Gender row boxer Imane Khelif 'names Elon Musk & JK Rowling in Olympics cyberbullying lawsuit'

IMANE KHELIF, one of the boxers at the centre of the Olympics gender row, has named Elon Musk and JK Rowling in a cyberbullying lawsuit.

That is according to the Algerian’s lawyer Nabil Boudi - who claimed Donald Trump’s tweets will also be investigated - as part of a criminal complaint understood to have been lodged in France.

Khelif won gold in the women’s 66kg event in Paris but her victory was marred by a global controversy over whether she should have been allowed to compete at all - having been disqualified from last year’s women’s world championships in Delhi for failing an IBA gender test.

Angela Carrini apologised to Imane and she has been pushed by IBA and tgey were training together for years. Imane sais they IBA know be I have been with them since 2018. There is surely some corruption on the line.

Now Rowling and Musk will have to prove all what they alleged in court

L'italienne s'entraînait depuis des années auprès de khelif et soudain ....? La révélation ? Hum...

Imane Khelif’s resilience in the face of relentless cyber harassment is inspiring. Despite the baseless and hateful attacks from figures like Elon Musk, J.K. Rowling, and others, she has shown incredible strength and grace, winning gold and representing true sportsmanship. It’s shameful that these individuals chose to spread lies and incite hatred rather than celebrate her achievement. Their actions are not just disgraceful but criminal, and they must be held accountable. We stand with Imane in her fight for justice and against bigotry.

Apparently win gold 🥇 in olympic it's not enough for her. She wants justice.

A bloke who punches women suing people for calling him a bloke.

Great the judge should order a blood test XY = man

The IBA had no issues with Imane Khelif competing until she defeated Azalea Amineva, who was the previously undefeated Russian champion. It was at that point that suddenly, Khelif was declared to have XY genes, after years of participating. This let the IBA disqualify her win, letting the Russian be "undefeated".
They didn't release how they determined she had those genes
That sounds completely above board and normal, right?

This same organization is now offering Angela Carini a $50, 000 cash prize, $25, 000 to her coach, and another $25, 000 to her boxing organization for losing to Imane Khelif. Why? What kind of message are they trying to send by such an unprecedented act?

The IBA is the *only* source for saying that Imane Khelif has XY genes OR elevated testosterone. It's clearly a corrupt, Russian based organization, and no one should be spreading their propaganda for them for free. Unless you're getting paid by the Kremlin? Stop spreading misinformation.

This lawsuit is going nowhere against Elon Musk.

[Tom_D_Harry]

Musk should counter sue back for defamation

[jacobtuyishime]

In case they find out that he is aman what is he going to do

[jolove]

it's true Imane was competing from a while ago and suddenly people woke up to talk about gender ! but I have a question who hits me first time saw Imane, would like to see one thing in Imane related to woman just one thing ! maybe it's hiding !

[mk-eevx]

He wanted a gold medal by any means mecessary, and he got one

[AfricanImmigrant]

Good for her ❤❤ Imane is a fight through and through 💪

[ABDELGHANIGUETTAR]

Vive l'armée algérien, Vive l'Algérie...en sont fous de ci un pays de football Zidane, benzima, mahrez ben arabia, samir nasri, ben rahma

[david_fl]

can not for the evidentiary phase of this frivolous law suit.

[lbewl]

The thing is; there wouldn't be a lawsuit if they could prove they're a woman.
The lawsuit says "it's complicated."
It's not. If you're not an XX female, you shouldn't be competing against, let alone punching, XX women.

[Cyno]

Famous ppl need to gtfo Twitter. Don't they have full time, full on jobs. I'm tired of hearing what Elon has said on Twitter this day or that week.

[khiblohadushitbahtebiw]

She was born as a femal ... She lost 9 times ... And carini had done drama befor this fight ...
Shame on you ...

[Lana.ba]

Why no one is talking about the American trans, ah they didn't encourage you to do so
