The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, who was in Paris precisely to visit the center of the Italian Olympic athletes, was involved in this entire debate from the last boxing match between Imane Khelif and Angela Carini.
"I have been disagreeing with the CIO on this issue for years. The match is not with equal weapons. It was an unfair race. In fact, this was evident from the beginning when the blood of the Algerian had an extremely high level of testosterone. I want to be careful and not discriminate, but Angela's withdrawal makes me very sad. The duty of the institutions is to guarantee a fair competition. I think athletes who have male genetics cannot compete with women. This is not for discrimination, but to protect the idea of an equal game" , said Meloni after the duel.
Meanwhile, yesterday evening, the president of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, held a meeting with the Italian Prime Minister Meloni even after her first statements regarding the boxing match between the Italian Carini and the Algerian Imane, a meeting that apparently brought her back from fan in the profession of politician number 1 of the Italian government.
"It was a very positive meeting and we also talked about Carini's case. We agreed and agreed to simplify this event and issue, since she, the Algerian boxer, is a woman and has been competing for 6 years at the international level" , said Meloni after the meeting with the president of the International Olympic Committee.
Italy will also host the Winter Olympic Games in 2026 and in the meeting between Meloni, Bah and the president of the Italian Olympic Committee Malago, this issue was also discussed.
