00:00Matt, there's been some controversy at the North Paris Arena where the boxing's taking place.

00:05Can you talk us through what's happening there?

00:10Yeah, 46 seconds of drama in the women's boxing there today.

00:13The Italian, Angela Carini, she withdrew from the event after she was struck in the face

00:19by the Algerian boxer, Iman Khalif.

00:23Now, the reason this is controversial, Charmaine, is that Khalif was disqualified

00:27from competing at the World Championships last year after she returned a test

00:31that showed elevated levels of testosterone.

00:35It has been an issue that's been bubbling away here at the Olympics,

00:38but it really came to the fore after this event.

00:42Carini said she'd never been struck so hard.

00:44She said she felt unsafe.

00:46She's worried that she could suffer a more serious injury or even something worse.

00:51This has really developed into probably the biggest story at the Olympics at the moment.

00:55I spoke to the Australian boxer, Marissa Williamson,

00:59after she was knocked out of the event in the round of 16.

01:02Here's what she had to say about this.

01:05If it's true, then Ibon, who did the initial genetic testing last year,

01:09need to be liaising with the Olympic Committee.

01:11But if it isn't true and you're just running down an athlete,

01:15then it's also not good at the same time.

01:18Would you be comfortable fighting against her?

01:20I've already fought against Iman, a hard fighter.

01:24My last fight was against Iman in the Netherlands in the final.

01:28You just keep punching in the sport of boxing.

01:30It doesn't really matter.

01:36Plenty of criticism coming the IOC's way over this issue,

01:39including from the tennis great Martina Navratilova.

01:41She says that the IOC's decision to allow this boxer and another Taiwanese boxer

01:47who also failed a similar test last year to compete,

01:50she says it's deplorable.

01:51The IOC has issued a statement, they say,

01:54that all of the relevant tests were followed

01:57and that these boxers have a right to compete here at these Olympic Games.

02:01But I think, Charmaine,

02:02that this is an issue we're going to hear more about in the coming days.
