‘Weapon grade gaslighting’: Rita Panahi calls out outrageous Olympics travesty

Sky News host Rita Panahi has slammed the International Olympic Committee for allowing a boxer who reportedly has XY chromosomes to compete against women at the Paris Games.

It comes as on Thursday, controversial Algerian boxer Imane Khelif defeated Italy’s Angela Carini after just 46 seconds.

Carini decided to end the match in under a minute after taking several punches to the head by Khelif.

“It doesn't get more absurd than the weapon-grade gaslighting we are witnessing at the moment," Ms Panahi said.

“Algeria's Imane Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-Ting were only last year thrown out of the Women's World Boxing Championships for failing ‘gender eligibility tests’ but there they are in Paris beating the bejesus out of their unfortunate opponents.”
