Episode description

This morning, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif won an Olympic boxing match by default after Italy's Angela Carini, abandoned the bout in protest. Why? Because Khelif, previously banned from the World Championships, has XY chromosomes. Sports scientist Tommy Lundberg joined UnHerd in the aftermath of the fight to discuss how the complex case could change Olympic history.
