Imane Khelif wins her semi-final match!
The best way for her to win the gold is to not pay attention to these distractions, but it's certain that we might witness regrettable events regardless of the outcome of the final.
She left the ring crying. Her last few hours must have been hell."
� Maxime Truman
It goes without saying that the Algerian boxer must feel observed by everyone, everywhere she goes. We have witnessed the horrors spread about her via social media or in the media of certain countries.
While her situation deserves a thorough analysis to determine if the power generated by her medical condition is superior to other female athletes, it should not become a political debate. She has the right to live her experience without all this fuss. She was born with this condition, which is very different from a trans person.
Nevertheless, the situation calls for greater scientific research on hyperandrogenism to determine if the boxer benefited from a real advantage or not.
