Among the many controversies surrounding the 2024 Paris Olympic Games has been the issue of male boxers being allowed to fight against female opponents in women’s events.
As Slay News reported, two male boxers were cleared to fight against women at the Olympics, despite previously failing gender tests.
Imane Khelif, of Algeria, and Lin Yu-Ting, of Taiwan, were previously banned from the world championships after it emerged they were trying to hide their male gender to compete as female.
Both men were disqualified from the Women’s World Boxing Championships in March 2023 in New Delhi, after a series of DNA tests were ordered amid concerns over the sex of some of those taking part.
At the time Umar Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association (IBA), revealed the tests had proven the athletes – including Khelif and Yu-Ting – had “XY chromosomes,” meaning they are male.
He added that they “uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretend to be women.”
Nevertheless, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that the two male fighters had been given the all-clear to compete against real women.
“All athletes participating in the boxing tournament of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 comply with the competition’s eligibility and entry regulations, as well as all applicable medical regulations,” the IOC said.
The IOC refused to provide details of how their gender was established and indicated that DNA tests were not taken.
However, neither Khelif nor Yu-Ting claims to be “transgender” as both athletes falsely assert that they are “women.”
Imane Khelif, who has been proven to have male chromosomes (XY), was thrown out of last year’s world championships after failing DNA tests carried out to establish gender qualification.
At the Paris Olympics, he defeated his first female opponent, Italy’s Angela Carini, a real woman.
Carini was forced to abandon the fight after just 46 seconds because Khelif’s punches were “just too powerful.”
Video from the match shows Carini sustained several powerful blows to the head during the short fight.

After the fight, the Algerian Boxing Federation gloated about Khelif’s “victory.”
Officials at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are now facing a furious backlash, however.
Another male boxer has also been competing in the female competition – Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan.
He was also disqualified from the 2023 women’s boxing world championships for failing a gender eligibility test.
He brutally “won” his first bout in the Olympic women’s competition.

President of the Professional Boxing Association Barry McGuigan, a former world featherweight champion, said it was a “shocking” and “pathetic” decision to allow “a man” to fight women.
Umar Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association (IBA) has said after a series of DNA tests the association “uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretended to be women.”
Kremlev claimed that the tests “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded from the sports events.”
IBA defines a woman, female, or girl as “an individual with chromosome XX” and men, males, or boys as “an individual with chromosome XY.”
The IOC, however, defines gender by the “identity” that the athlete chooses to record on their passport.
Now it has been revealed that the official at the center of the Olympic gender row, IOC spokesman Mark Adams, is a former executive at the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF).
Adams served as the communications director at the WEF for 10 years before taking his role at the IOC.
It has also emerged that Adams was the best man at the wedding of leftist British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is listed as one of the “people” of the WEF.
Adams has been arguing that concern about men fighting against women is part of a “witch hunt” against boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting.
has known Starmer since the two men were at school together.
Responding to Khelif’s “victory,” Adams told reporters:
“Testosterone is not a perfect test. Many women can have testosterone, which is in what would be called ‘male levels’ and still be women, and still compete as a woman …
“I hope we’re all agreed we’re not calling for people to go back to the bad old days of sex testing, which was a terrible thing to do and I’m sure we all agree that’s not the way forward in this situation.”
Adams didn’t clarify why simple DNA testing would be a “terrible thing to do,” however.
Additionally, Adams even falsely stated that both male boxers were “born women.”
In 2014, Adams referred to Keir Starmer as “my old mate” as he congratulated him on his selection as the Labour candidate for St Pancras and Holborn at the 2015 general election.
When Sir Keir was subsequently elected on May 7, Adams wrote: “Congrats to a great bloke.”
According to a report from The Telegraph, Adams, who joined the IOC as its director of communications in 2009, is a former broadcast journalist.
He worked at the BBC, ITN, and EuroNews before spending 10 years in an executive role at the WEF.
“Mr. Adams has lived in Lausanne ever since he began his role with the IOC, having lived and worked in Geneva during his time at the World Economic Forum,” The Telegraph said.
