Female Olympic boxer bursts into tears after being punched in the face by opponent who previously failed gender test

The Algerian was disqualified for failing to meet the necessary gender eligibility criteria.

The president of the International Boxing Association (IBA) said that his association “uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretended to be women” using DNA tests.

Umar Kremlev said that the DNA tests “proved” that these boxers “had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded from the sports events.”
