Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has been engulfed in a row about her eligibility to compete in the Paris Olympics – after an Italian rival bowed out from a bout in just 46 seconds.

To help unpack fact from fiction and explain what’s going on,SBS spoke to Dr Morgan Carpenter. He’s a bioethicist at the University of Sydney and the Executive Director of Intersex Human Rights Australia, speaking here with Tee Mitchell.
