@dailymail: Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer at the center of a gender dispute at the Paris Olympics, has filed a formal legal complaint with French prosecutors urging them to investigate online harassment. Khelif won the gold medal in the women's welterweight (66kg) category on Friday against China's Liu Yang. She has been in the spotlight after being subjected to harassment and abuse on social media by those who questioned her gender. Misinformation on the internet - and the results of an unspecified eligibility test by a controversial and discredited boxing body - led to suggestions that Khelif, along with fellow Olympian Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan, was not female. But Khelif's lawyer Nabil Boudi said a complaint had been filed with Paris prosecutors on Friday, alleging harassment and abuse after a storm of hateful comments were shared online during the contest of champions. #imanekhelif #olympics #paris2024 #roadtoparis #boxing
