While at first, the images suggested that Carini was simply refusing to go further in the fight, the Italian's attitude then seemed to convey another message. Faced with her refusal to greet her rival twice, reactions on social networks quickly multiplied, for example calling the athlete a "male boxer fighting women", or posting photos of men in place of her own. Political reactions… including that of Donald TrumpAs this article explains, some detractors accuse the 25-year-old boxer of being a trans person, even though she was born a woman and suffers from hyperandrogenism, meaning she has high testosterone levels.Hyperandrogenism is a developmental disorder characterized by high levels of male hormones. Symptoms may include acne, seborrhea (inflammation of the skin), hair loss, increased body or facial hair, and infrequent or absent periods.

    "I think that athletes who have male genetic characteristics should not be allowed to compete in women's competitions," reacted Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on X. Her vice-president, Matteo Salvini, commented: "Seeing a woman competing in the Olympic Games with a trans boxer is unacceptable madness, the result of the hypocrisy of political correctness." The debate also made its way into the presidential campaign in the United States, where several Republican leaders referred to the Algerian as a man. "I will keep men out of women's sports!" wrote Donald Trump in capital letters on his Truth Social network. Elon Musk also put in his two cents, with retweets. Khelif, on the other hand, was able to count on the support of some of his compatriots. "We will not allow anyone to put pressure on her or harm her, and we are ready to defend her with unwavering determination," Algerian Sports Minister Abderrahmane Hammad assured on X. Footballer Ismaël Bennacer also reacted. "Full support for our champion Imane Khelif, who is suffering a wave of unjustified hatred. Her presence at the Olympic Games is simply the fruit of her talent and hard work. We believe in you to carry the colors of Algeria high," he wrote on X. Other boxers in support, Carini apologizes two days after the fight, Italian Angela Carini apologized in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport. "All this controversy makes me sad," she regretted. "I'm also sorry for my opponent. If the IOC said she could fight, I respect that decision," she insisted. The Italian also returned to her post-fight attitude: "It wasn't something I planned to do. I want to apologize to her and everyone else. I was angry because my Olympic Games had gone up in smoke," she told the Italian media.Other boxers have lent their support to Imane Khelif. "I don't think she did anything to cheat. She was born like that and it's not something she can control. The fact that she was beaten by nine boxers says a lot," commented Irishwoman Amy Broadhurst on X. Supported by the IOC, deprived of the World Championships by the IBAThe International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Boxing Federation (IBA) have adopted different positions on this issue. The IOC, which validated the Algerian's participation, immediately gave her its support. Imane Khelif was "born a woman, registered as a woman, lives her life as a woman, boxes as a woman," International Olympic Committee (IOC) spokesman Mark Adams insisted on Friday. "This is not a transgender case," he said. But the controversy mainly stems from her exclusion from the 2023 World Championships in New Delhi because, according to the International Boxing Federation (IBA), she had failed a test intended to establish her gender. While the IBA did not specify what type of test it was, it refuted the hypothesis of an analysis of testosterone levels. A controversy against the backdrop of a long-standing conflict, in particular for repeated refereeing scandals. The IBA, chaired by Russian Umar Kremlev, lost the organization of the Olympic tournaments in June 2023. Imane Khelif responds to the controversy For the first time since the start of the Olympic Games, Imane Khelif spoke to SNTV journalists on Monday, August 5. "I am sending a message to all the peoples of the world to respect the Olympic principles and the Olympic Charter, and to refrain from intimidating all athletes, because it has effects, massive effects," she responded. "It can destroy people, it can kill people's thoughts, spirits and souls. It can divide people. And because of that, I ask them to refrain from any form of intimidation.
