Imane Khelif collapsed in tears and had to be held up by friends as she guaranteed herself an Olympic medal after becoming the most controversial athlete at the Paris games.
Davies said: 'This is shocking. The IOC are a bloody disgrace. In effect legalising beating up females. This must stop!!! What the hell's the matter with them?'. Imane Khelif stood her ground today amid a vicious 'hate campaign' and took another giant step towards her gold medal dream Imane Khelif and Luca Anna Hamori during the Women's 66kg quarterfinal at the North Paris Arena todayKhelif and Hamori looking up at the referee preparing to recover after their fallImane Khelif preparing for her fight with a refreshing splash of water
But the questions over participation are set to continue despite claims that much of the opposition against her is fuelled by online hate. But it only helped increase the focus on Khelif's sex and Olympic chiefs slammed the online 'hate speech' levied towards her. IOC chief Bach said: 'We are talking about women's boxing .We have two boxers who are born as a woman, who were raised as women, who have passport as women, who have competed for many years as women. This is the clear definition of a woman.'
