Patrick Mahomes' mother Randi has weighed in on Imane Khelif's bout with Angela Carini in the Paris Olympics which has captivated the attention of every sports fan. The Algerian boxer was born a female but has higher levels of testosterone and failed an IBA gender eligibility test previously, the results of which have been disputed by the IOC.
The IBA banned her from the world championships last year. However, since they have been unrecognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which is running the competition at the Paris Olympics, the current legibility is based on 2020 Tokyo Olympic rules.
That has stirred controversy as Angela Carini withdrew 46 seconds into her match against Imane Khelif, as she suffered a blow that led her to start bleeding. The loser of the bout, though, has won the support of many prominent personalities across the sporting world and now Randi Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes' mother, can be added to the list.

Patrick Mahomes' mother Randi has previously weighed in on Paris Olympics' cultural issues
Patrick Mahomes' mother has previously reposted another tweet on X that showed an athlete praising Jesus after athletes were reportedly forbidden from doing so. This came after organizers were accused of disrespecting Christianity by making a parody of the Last Supper using drag queens during the opening ceremony, which was subsequently denied.
