The hottest topic of conversation in Paris has been the boxing controversy at the Olympic Games.

Imane Khelif, who was barred from the 2023 world championships after tests revealed she had male XY chromosomes, has dominated the women's 66-kilogram division.

Khelif recently earned a win over Italy's Angela Carini after Carini forfeited just 46 seconds into a match.

Khelif's inclusion in the Games has led to discussion about fairness in women's sports, and it has led to an outcry against Khelif. Many critics say the Algerian should not be competing at the Games.

Caitlyn Jenner, who won the 1976 men's decathlon as Bruce Jenner, says the ordeal has "hurt" the competition.

"This issue has hurt the Olympic Games so much. … Everyone's talking about it," Jenner told Fox News' "The Story" Friday, adding it has taken away from other accomplishments.

Jenner said Khelif should not be in a women's category.

"I hate to be so downright rough … but we have to have rules and regulations, and it has to come down to DNA," she said, saying those with XY chromosomes should be in a men's competition.

"I think the Olympic committee did absolutely the wrong thing by letting [Khelif] compete," Jenner added. "Shame on the IOC for not protecting the integrity of women's sports, and shame on the IOC for not protecting the safety of women's sports.
