A man who identifies as a woman could very well win a gold medal in women’s boxing at the profane, pornographic and pagan Olympic Games in Paris. It’s a gender-bender mystery that’s causing international outrage.
Imane Khelif is from Algeria. The athlete was disqualified from the 2023 World Boxing Championships for having elevated levels of testosterone.
Angela Carini, of Italy, was his Olympic opponent. She took a powerful punch to the face. The bout lasted just 46 seconds before she threw in the towel.
“I have never been hit so hard in my life,” she told Italian television. Click here to read my book, “Twilight’s Last Gleaming: Can America be Saved?”
Ms. Carini shouted, “This is unjust,” and slammed her headgear onto the canvas.
“I’m used to suffering,” Carini told reporters through tears. “I’ve never taken a punch like that, it’s impossible to continue. I’m nobody to say it’s illegal. I got into the ring to fight. But I didn’t feel like it anymore after the first minute. I started to feel a strong pain in my nose. I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I’m leaving with my head held high.”
What Ms. Carini described is not a boxing match. It’s assault with a deadly weapon.
But the International Olympic Committee and Algerian Olympic Committee defended Mr. Khelif and said he had a right to smack around women in in the ring. And they condemned what they called the unethical targeting and maligning of an esteemed athlete.
They also say that dude is no dude. They say he’s really a woman – who has a testosterone problem.
“COA strongly condemns the unethical targeting and maligning of our esteemed athlete, Imane Khelif, with baseless propaganda from certain foreign media outlets,” the organization said, via Reuters. “Such attacks on her (sic) personality and dignity are deeply unfair, especially as she (sic) prepares for the pinnacle of her (sic) career at the Olympics. The COA has taken all necessary measures to protect our champion.”
What a strange world that we live in. Back when I was a kid, a guy who punched a girl in the face was sent to jail. But these days they’ll give you an Olympic medal.
