It took just 46 seconds for Italian boxer Angela Carini to realize at the Paris Olympics that if she stayed in the ring with the male she was being forced to compete against, she might not leave with her face intact. That’s how hard she was hit by Algeria’s Imane Khelif, who has sexual male characteristics according to genetic testing conducted by the International Boxing Association.
“I have always honored my country with loyalty,” Carini said afterward. “This time, I didn’t succeed because I couldn’t fight anymore. I put an end to the match because after the second blow, after years of experience in the ring and a life of fighting, I felt a severe pain in my nose, and with the maturity of a boxer, I said ‘enough,’ because I didn’t want to, I didn’t want to, I couldn’t finish the match.
“Everyone competing in the women’s category is complying with the competition eligibility rules,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams said. ”They are women in their passports and it’s stated that this is the case, that they are female.”
