    Carini was openly disrespecting Khelif at first, but after sleeping on it she’s apologetic about being a sore loser and for the disrespect.

    Also the IBA president who started the XY lie is now offering Khelif 100,000 if she wins a gold medal. He’s more to blame for the whole sitch because he’s mad the IOC kicked him out and is doing this to troll.

      Ah that’s right. I tuned in to the drama late, after the apologies and stuff already came out. But competition is intense at that level, emotions run high, so I get it. The important part is the opinions after sleeping on it imo.

      As for the IBA President, he sounds like a piece of work. I had no idea the IBA was kicked out of the Olympics. How did I miss that? Not sure what that means now though since they clearly do have boxing. I’m reading up on that drama now lol.
