    But it didn’t. She was disqualified from the competition, it wasn’t clearly stated why. And as previously mentioned, there are huge questions of trustworthiness regarding that organisation. I also have my doubts that Lauren Boebert has any awareness of previous allegations, but suspect she has just jumped on an assumption as many online seem to have done.

        I’ll grant you, Boebert wasn’t the first person to make the claim. But I doubt she’s got an awareness of historical allegations from an association that most people who don’t follow boxing won’t have heard of. I suspect she’s either jumping on a bandwagon of other people making the claim, or making a claim based on her ‘feeling’ that Khelif doesn’t look traditionally feminine.
