The Algerian boxer at the centre of a gender row at the Paris Olympics has filed a legal complaint saying she has been a victim of online harassment. 

Imane Khelif's lawyer Nabil Boudi said the complaint was filed with the Paris Prosecutor's Office on Friday.

On Saturday, the gold-winning boxer said: "All that is being said about me on social media is immoral. I want to change the minds of people around the world."

Still a bit wild when you think about it: she comes from a religion that's against it, a country that's both against it and has it illegal, and she has no desire to change gender. Yet they all are saying she is.
