Angela Price is the wife of former Montreal Canadiens legendary goalie Carey Price. She made comments regarding the Olympics and is facing heavy backlash.

On Angela Price's Instagram, she was asked a question about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who has been at the center of major criticism over what her gender identity is. Price responded to that question, and went on to heavily bash Khelif, going as far as even mocking her with a photo that was photoshopped, which depicted boxer Mike Tyson in a wig, making reference to Khelif's gender. Angela's response was as follows:

"That saying 'common sense isn't very common these days'....a woman will never be able to compete at the same level as a man and I think it is heart breaking for these women born athletes, heartbreaking! do you, dress and act however you like but there are limits."

Questions began to appear on social media about Khelif's legitimacy in the sport following a statement from the International Boxing Association and a Russian boxing federation, that Khelif failed a gender eligibility test in 2023, leading to multiple allegations that Khelif was in fact a male, not a female.

Khelif beat Italian boxer Angela Carini in only 46 seconds, which further added to the social media outrage. Elon Musk & United States Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance even joined all of the hate on the internet.

Khelif identifies as a female and has never said that she used to be a male. She called the IBA's claims an "injustice". Khelif is from Algeria, which is a country that has strict laws against LGBTQ+ rights, including everything related to gender identity and transitioning.

This is so Painful to watch.

«I have been boxing for years in the International Boxing Association which has committed INJUSTICE towards me.

The IOC confirmed they do support Khelif against all the criticisms over her eligibility, stating that she did participate in the 2020 Olympics, however she didn't win any medals. Despite not releasing the findings of Khelif's tests, the IOC says Khelif, and another boxer who was also questioned, Lin Yu-ting, met the eligibility to compete at this year's Olympics.

Following her victory over the Italian boxer, Khelif has also defeated Hungarian boxer Anna Luca Hamori to move on to the medal round of the Olympics women's welterweight competition.
