The Olympics were rocked by scandal on Thursday as a female boxer burst into tears after being punched in the face and going on to quit her bout with an opponent who had previously failed a gender test.
Italian Angela Carini ended her 66kg clash with Algerian Imane Khelif after just 46 seconds, when two punches saw her helmet dislodged.
Carini refused to shake hands with Khelif after the fight, as she wept on the canvas with a possible broken nose.
Her coach said: “She felt pain in her nose and said to me ‘I don’t want to fight anymore’.”
The fight itself had already been controversial – Khelif, who is 5ft 10, was one of two women boxers cleared to compete after being disqualified from last year’s World Boxing Championships in New Delhi.
