The Algerian boxer at the centre of a gender row at the Paris Olympics has filed a legal complaint saying she has been a victim of online harassment.
Imane Khelif’s lawyer Nabil Boudi said the complaint was filed with the Paris Prosecutor’s Office on Friday.
On Saturday, the gold-winning boxer said: “All that is being said about me on social media is immoral. I want to change the minds of people around the world.”
The Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu Ting who was also DQed by the IBA with no evidence also won gold. Her coach thanked JK Rowling, saying “most people probably didn’t know or care about women’s boxing. Now the whole world knows Yu Ting and Taiwan and that she is a champion.”
damn thats dropping hotter than a mixtape
This controversy has done wonders for women’s boxing.
against who tho? looks like the whole global far right was against her
Against those who started this harassment campaign: the IBA. Those russian assholes began this with their falss evidence.
Wouldnt be surprised.
Equally, wouldnt be surprised at them being behind that Turkish shooter who didnt use the special glasses.
Even though: it was a pairs event and he had a partner(who was using the glasses) and he wasnt the only person not using them.What’d the Turkish guy do, aside from not wearing glasses and looking extremely casual?
He did nothing other than get a silver medal with his partner. But my suspicion is that he’s being used as s dog whistle meme. Because its a White-passing guy not using special gear, often being contrasted against an asian woman who is using special glasses.
Eh, you’re overanalyzing it. He became meme over his vibes, nothing to discredit the righteous winner.
The world loves when something unexpected happens
I think both can be true. I’ve seen some shitty posts using him too; although you are correct that the main impetus was his casual AF vibe
a White-passing guy
Not sure what that means. He looked like a pretty typical Turkish person. His skin isn’t even especially pale.
Turks aren’t Arabs. He’s as “white-passing” as Erdogan.
The IBA if there’s any real justice.
Against them, apparently
All that is being said about me on social media is immoral.
I worry that with the country she’s from, that she’s referring to being trans as immoral, and not the baseless accusations.
Its interesting that being called trans seems to be the new being called gay.
It’s because currently being gay is more accepted than not in western countries, you don’t generate controversy with that you just expose yourself for being an asshole, well trans are not yet accepted to that degree

What weight class did she win? I’m ignorant to Olympic boxing.
66kg, or 145.5lbs “junior welterweight” if your country went to the Moon.
I hope she wins and gets justice.
