The controversy was installed in the Olympic Games Paris 2024 after the fight that Algerian Imane Khelif won in 46 seconds against Italian Angela Carini, in the up to 66 kilo category. The opponent, upon leaving, said: “I have never been hit so hard.”

The accusation comes after the 25-year-old Algerian athlete was disqualified by the IBA after reaching the final of the 2023 World Amateur Championships for failing a hormone test. However, there is no evidence that she is a transgender athlete.

The debate reached Argentina and the former boxer gave a strong opinion Alejandra Oliverasnicknamed Locomotivea nickname that is fully justified not only by the attitude with which he fought, but also by the conviction with which he expressed himself.

“Well, the first question is if this other girl is a trans girl, if she has a penis. Does she have a penis or not?” she asked. The C5 N studio answered no.

“No, she’s a woman. So what’s the problem? (…) Listen to me, dad. I won six world titles, all by knockout. Against women 10 kilos heavier than me. I also have a strength that, if you put 200, 300 women, they don’t have my strength. I’m unique in the world. Don’t forget that you’re talking to the best boxer in the world, in history, Guinness record. And I’m not saying it, my titles say it. But I’m a woman. In boxing there are rules. Woman against woman. Man against man. They do the anti-doping test. There’s a weight. There’s a doctor. There’s a jury. There are prosecutors. It’s a wonderful sport. They take care of you too. Because once you touch the ground, the fight is over. The referee can stop it. They don’t keep hitting you. There are sports that keep hitting you on the ground. But if she’s a woman, I saw the fight. First she got a fucking punch. A big punch is when you hit her. You fall to the ground and you don’t wake up again, like the one I gave Jackie Nava. That’s a punch, when you get knocked out. A punch and she stood still, and said no. Well, if she’s a coward, what do I know, I don’t know what to tell you, why do you get in the ring if you’re not going to get punched?” said the winner of six world titles.

“Now, if the other one is a coward, and I don’t know what to tell you, why did she get into the ring if she’s not going to get punched. Now, if the other person is not, that is, transgender, that is, a trans girl, then we are talking about something else, because biologically, men are stronger than women because they have testosterone. It’s biological, a doctor asked her and it’s like that. That’s why it is totally forbidden for a man to compete against a woman,” added Alejandra.

Imane Khelif defeated the Italian Carini. Alejandra Oliveras gave her opinion with force.
