When he returns to the White House, President Trump will take immediate action to protect women and girls and overturn the Harris-Biden Administration&#8217;s radical rewrite of Title IX,&#8221; a Trump campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imane Khelif, the Algerian Olympian, was disqualified from the 2023\u00a0World Boxing Championships\u00a0after the International Boxing Association determined Khelif failed gender tests. According to Reuters, Khelif \u2013 who has &#8220;female&#8221; listed on her passport \u2013 was found to have elevated levels of testosterone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I got into the ring to fight,&#8221; the embattled fighter, Carini, said, according to Italy\u2019s ANSA. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t give up, but one punch hurt too much, and so I said enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going out with my head held high.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IBA President Umar Kremlev explained the decision at the time, according to Russia\u2019s Tass News Agency, saying that based on DNA tests, &#8220;we identified\u00a0a number of athletes\u00a0who tried to trick their colleagues into posing as women. According to the results of the tests, it was proved that they have XY chromosomes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Such athletes were excluded from competition,&#8221; Kremlev said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khelif was authorized to compete by the International Olympic Committee, and the Algerian Olympic Committee (COA) addressed the criticisms before Thursday\u2019s event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;COA strongly condemns the unethical targeting and maligning of our esteemed athlete, Imane Khelif, with baseless propaganda from certain foreign media outlets,&#8221; the organization said, via Reuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Such attacks on her personality and dignity are deeply unfair, especially as she prepares for the pinnacle of her career at the Olympics. The COA has taken all necessary measures to protect our champion.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Italian officials\u00a0expressed concerns about Khelif\u2019s eligibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It is surprising that there are no certain, strict, uniform criteria at the international level,&#8221; Italian Sports Minister Andrea Abodi said, adding it was strange &#8220;that there can be a suspicion, and far more than a suspicion, of an unfair and potentially dangerous contest for one of the contenders at the Olympics, an event that symbolizes sporting fairness.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told the U.K. paper, The Telegraph, &#8220;it was not an even contest.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think that athletes who have male genetic characteristics should not be admitted to women\u2019s competitions. And not because you want to discriminate against someone, but to protect the right of female athletes to be able to compete on equal terms,&#8221; Meloni said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is\u00a0not the first\u00a0controversy that has arisen since the Olympics began last week. Olympic organizers faced intense backlash from Christians and others worldwide regarding the opening ceremonies of the 2024 games after a skit featuring drag queens and a woman in a halo crown appeared to mock the Leonardo da Vinci painting of Jesus&#8217; Last Supper.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If elected, Harris is expected to advance the Biden administration&#8217;s efforts to expand Title IX, the civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded schools and educational institutions, now including protections against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LGBTQ+ activists championed the change as a necessary one to prevent transgender students from facing certain restrictions. The rule took effect Aug. 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both\u00a0the White House\u00a0and Kamala Harris&#8217; campaign  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4459,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[4224,1511,1420],"class_list":["post-4458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usa","tag-harris","tag-house","tag-white"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>White House, Harris silent on Olympics gender controversy as Trump vows to &#039;protect women and girls&#039;
