The president of the 🇮🇹 Italian Olympic Committee Giovanni Malagò has revealed that the IBA put pressure on Italian boxer Angela Carini before her fight with 🇩🇿 Imane Khelif:
"Angela showed me the pressure she was subjected to in the days preceding the match by the IBA. I told her not to pay attention to it and to just think about fighting"
Malagò also added that he received the necessary documents on Khelif's eligibility from IOC:
"I received the document from the highest medical authority of the IOC on the regularity of Khelif's participation in the tournament. The rest is just chatter that has overwhelmed Angela .. but I'm not at all surprised that the issue has become political."
The plot thickens. 🧐
