“Have you ever wondered how hard it was to face these words? What did I have to stand in my silence, while preserving his health from the nonsense of social networking, from people who speak and say twice?” Customs said. “Because it’s just a sentence for them, it’s just a word, it’s just fun, it just wants to follow the audience.”

She said the incident “destroyed” his career.
“For many, it is easy to forget the past, but it wasn’t for me,” Customs said in her video. “That past that marked my life. It has passed that left the wounds in me to try to heal the day day by day, but as an infected wound bleeds and hurts.
“That past that was changed and destroyed my career, a year in a year with victims, commitment, perseverance, and a lot of passions. … that is underestimated and belittled to those who prefer to laugh for a few moments, they preferred stone.”

After Paris, Customs said she closed “in silence” with their family and “tried to rebuild (alone) to small pieces.”
Customs returned to the ring in December, he won the Italian title and gold on the world boxing in Poland in the field.
“Putting all the disappointments, I returned to that ring, confirming it as an Italian champion and bringing home medals from important international tournaments,” Customs said. “Returning to that ring was a difficult challenge.”
“These words won’t change the world. I won’t make people become kinder. But at least I call everyone to reflect. … word, gesture, command can hurt and destroy the person.”
The international Olympic Committee (IOC) defended the results of Parisian Games, stating that Khelif and another boxer faced the victims of “sudden and arbitrary IBA” Khelif decisions also denied that the transdontist.
The International Boking Association (IBA) President Umar Kremlev sought in July to provide Khelif Olympic gold medal in an effort to achieve “transparency and openness”. Khelif was previously disqualified by IBA for failure to test eligibility. At that time, Kremlev claimed that unpublished DNA test results showed Khelif had Xi Chromosomes.
