The leftist political commentator, Don Lemon, suggested that the boxer of Italian women Angela Carini was responsible for the battery she received in the hands of Imane Khelif in Algeria, who previously failed sexual admissibility tests.
Khelif struck Carini so strong at the Paris Olympic Games last summer that Carini had to withdraw from the match in tears after less than a minute.
But Lemon asked “What is the fault?” Regarding Carini’s fight with Khelif.

“If you put yourself in the arena to be struck and someone strikes you hard, then who is the fault?” Lemon said in an interview on “Piers Morgan not censored”.
“I am sure that the one who was in this competition understood with whom they were going to the ring. And if you put yourself in this competition in the middle of a ring where punches are launched, then you can expect to make yourself hard, whether it is a man or a woman. And that’s all I have to say about it.”
Carini recently allegedly alleged that she had suffered abuse online in the aftermath of her famous defeat.
Carini published a video on Instagram with screenshots of abuse messages that she received on social networks – some begging her not to take over the Olympic Games, others calling her “a coward” and “the shame of the Italian team” – and a voiceover of the 26 -year -old explaining what she felt.
“Have you ever wondered how difficult it was for me to face these words? What I had to endure and endure day after day? What I was to face in my silence, while preserving my health from a stupid social network, people who say and say words without thinking twice?” Said Carini. “Because for them, it’s just a sentence, it’s just a word, it’s just fun, it’s just wanting to follow the crowd.”
Carini’s decision to leave the fight fueled a discussion far beyond Paris as to Khelif should have been authorized to compete, President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni speaks.
She said the incident had “destroyed” her career.

“For many, it is easy to forget the past, but for me, it was not the case,” said Carini in his video. “This past that has marked my life. This past which left me injuries that I try to heal day after day, but like an infected injury, it bleeds and hurts.
“This past that has changed and destroyed my career, built year after year with sacrifices, dedication, tenacity and a lot of passion … This career which is underestimated and depreciated by those who preferred to make fun of a few moments, preferred to launch the stone.”
The International Olympic Committee (CIO) defended the results of the Paris Games, declaring that Khelif and another boxer who faced problems of eligibility between the sexes were the victims of a “sudden and arbitrary decision of IBA”. Khelif also publicly denied being transgender.
The President of the International Boxing Association (IBA), Umar Kremlev, demanded in July that the Olympic gold medal in Khelif be stripped of “transparency and opening”. Khelif has already been disqualified from IBA for failing an eligibility test between the sexes. Kremlev said at the time that the results of unpublished DNA tests showed that Khelif had XY chromosomes.

World Boxing, the international director of sport, announced a new policy in August which introduces compulsory sexual tests to guarantee that only women compete in the women’s category. Khelif called on the new policy that will prevent the athlete from any competition pending the results of genetic tests.
Asset Previously, there will be a “strong form of test” when they asked them for potential genetic tests for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games at a press conference on August 5.
The new president of the IOC, Kirsty Coventry, has initiated a working group to examine the problems of eligibility between the sexes.
