The Algerian boxer at the centre of a gender row at the Paris Olympics has filed a legal complaint saying she has been a victim of online harassment.

Imane Khelif’s lawyer Nabil Boudi said the complaint was filed with the Paris Prosecutor’s Office on Friday.

On Saturday, the gold-winning boxer said: “All that is being said about me on social media is immoral. I want to change the minds of people around the world.”

    All that is being said about me on social media is immoral.

    I worry that with the country she’s from, that she’s referring to being trans as immoral, and not the baseless accusations.

    Its interesting that being called trans seems to be the new being called gay.

      It’s because currently being gay is more accepted than not in western countries, you don’t generate controversy with that you just expose yourself for being an asshole, well trans are not yet accepted to that degree
