Dr Shola spews 'white woman tears should be studied' in savage Angela Carini rant after Imane Khelif victory

Khelif has been the subject of fierce debate after the IOC [International Olympic Committee] gave her the green light to compete - despite being banned from last year's IBA [International Boxing Association] world championships for failing a gender eligibility test.

The velocity with which she punched Carini during Thursday's clash caused the Italian to stop the fight to "preserve my life", she's claimed, and Khelif was pronounced the victor while her opponent was left in tears.

The result has sparked a furious debate among athletes, commentators and public figures across the globe, with the likes of JK Rowling and Caitlyn Jenner just two vocal opponents to Khelif's participation.

However, Dr Shola has decided to wade into the row with a take of her own, mocking Carini's inconsolable reaction to losing the clash.

In the first of a series of posts on X, the Jeremy Vine and This Morning regular penned: "White Woman tears should be studied ....they're so ridiculous. 'I have never been hit so hard in my life.' she says.

"Imagine starting an international incident because you got punched by a biologically born WOMAN in Women's Boxing Match & crying about it.

"Angela Carini can take her fake tears to God and leave #ImaneKhelif the hell alone," she concluded before following the post up with a second that began: "Imane Khelif is an excellent female boxer who trained hard which Angela Carini (aka Cryini) isn't & didn't.

"Shame on all who demonised #ImaneKhelif as a Man cheating/beating a Woman in a Women's Sport. Her sex is female & gender is woman.

"You haven't taken down your malicious posts or apologised. You're so blinded by your hate of trans women, that even Imane's God-given 'Cervix' doesn't make her Woman enough for you because of her natural testosterone levels - go complain to God!

"It's the audacity for me - expecting Imane to give up on her dreams of being an Olympic champion for another woman just because you don't like how God made her!"

Before long, the author and activist was soon inundated with outraged comments from social media users who blasted her opinions on the matter.

"White woman tears? Go f*** yourself. Sincerely, a white woman," one person penned before a second questioned: "What has the colour of her skin got to do with this?"

"There’s no such thing as 'white tears.' Stop race baiting," argued a third before a fourth weighed in: "Just when i thought she couldn't get any worse."

Elsewhere, a fifth hit out: "Why is everything about race with you why can’t you say this woman tears. Not white women. Please keep race out of it." (sic)

Dr Shola isn't the only public figure to have caused an uproar with their defence of Khelif amid the ongoing row.

Musician Billy Bragg was branded a "disgrace" and "sick" for drawing a comparison between the reaction to Khelif's participation and that of the Southport stabbings protests.

The 66-year-old penned: "Imane Khelif is a female boxer who has been defeated 9 times by women opponents.

"Those claiming she's a man have the same aims as those who claimed that the suspect in the Southport stabbings was a Muslim asylum seeker: to stir up hatred against a marginalised community."
