Paul deleted his initial post, and released a new statement — acknowledging that he might’ve unintentionally spread misinformation.
“Although she’s been previously disqualified for failing a ‘gender test’ and has XY chromosomes, some sources say Imane Khelif was born a biological woman.”
Paul didn’t totally abandon his initial stance. The WWE SuperStar is adamant about one thing … “Biological men should not compete against biological women in any sport.”
And, Logan wasn’t the only one modifying their position … TMZ Sports spoke with two-time Olympic gold medal-winning boxer Claressa Shields, who also apologized for initially labeling Khelif as “transgender.”
The International Olympic Committee is standing firm in its decision to let Imane and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting take part in the games … saying they’ve been fighting in the women’s division for many years.
Khelif will be in action again on Saturday … so, this story is far from over.
