00:00The hot topic of discussion today is the Algerian boxer, Imani Kelliff, the boxer who received a disqualification from the International Boxing Association after failing the gender eligibility test.
00:15In her first fight yesterday, in the 2024 Paris Olympics, Kelliff only needed 46 seconds to beat Angela Carini of Italy.
00:25Carini forfeited in the fight after asking questions about her condition.
00:31Due to the incident, there were many debates spreading on social media if Kelliff should be allowed to fight in the Paris Olympics.
00:40According to the critics of Kelliff, the decision of the IOC was wrong to allow the controversial boxer to fight in the women's division.
00:50In the defense of the supporters of Kelliff, it is right that she was given a chance because she is a biological female.
00:59Hyperandrogenism is the condition of Kelliff, where she has a high testosterone level even though she is a female.
01:08This is the same issue faced by the Filipina track and field athlete, Nancy Navalta, who disqualified in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics because of the same condition.
