Olympics spokesman says Algerian boxers are eligible

The Algerian boxer was born female, registered as a female, lived as a female, boxed as a female and had a female passport. This is not a transgender case. I know that’s not what you said, but people are a little confused that somehow this is a man fighting a woman. But in fact, it’s not. This is a woman who has had a very, very long fight with a lot of opponents in the women’s sport, in fact, two fights with Italian boxers in the last few years, I think. So, I think if you start addressing all doubts, then we’ll end up moving towards a gender testing regime, which is not going to be good for anyone.
