The Algerian Olympic and Sports Committee has condemned "malicious and unethical" attacks on boxer Imane Khelif, accused of being transgender. The committee says the claims are "lies" and "unjust" as Khelif prepares for the Olympics. This follows previous criticism and a ban from the World Championships against Khelif due to failed testosterone and gender eligibility tests. Khelif won her Olympic opening bout after her opponent quit the fight in 46 seconds. Elvis Presslin discusses this with Steve Letsike, Deputy Minister of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities and Human Rights advocate
