Imane Khelif “has been beaten by 9 women in the past. And that says it all.” Irish boxer Amy Broadhurst beat Algerian Imane Khelifi at the 2022 World Championships. Now, the athlete is speaking out about the case involving her African colleague. Khelifi, an intersex person, faced Italian Angela Carini at the 2024 Paris Olympics, who retired after just 46 seconds. “A lot of people are writing to me. I don’t think “Khelif” did anything to cheat. She was born that way, it’s something she can’t control. The fact that she’s been defeated by 9 athletes in the past says it all,” Broadhurst wrote on social media, before adding a note on “this crazy situation.”
Khelif was excluded from the 2023 World Championships because, according to the IBA, the organizer of the event, she failed a test. “Well, but where are the results?” asks Broadhurst. “They have not yet been made public and people believe what they are told. Keep in mind “given that the IBA has been cut out of the Olympics, it is the perfect time to create a ruckus during the Games,” he says. “I do not approve of ‘men against women’. It is wrong, I will never approve of it. But the insults this person has been receiving in the last 24 hours for no reason are absurd. Imagine if your daughter were to experience a situation like this. Stick to the facts, wait for the results to be known and then form an opinion. But enough with the attacks!”
