ITV ‘censored' Martina Navratilova for claiming boxer Imane Khelif was male
ITV has been accused of 'censoring' Martina Navratilova for stating a controversial boxer was male. Dozens of other comments were also 'hidden' from the broadcaster's X feed after it posted a story about Imane Khelif, the boxer who won a gold medal after being allowed to compete in the women's event at last year's Olympic Games. Earlier this week, Khelif was banned from women's boxing by the regulator, World Boxing. A leaked blood test showed the Olympian has male XY chromosomes. ITV later published a story headlined 'Naming Imane Khelif has caused 'immeasurable psychological damage'' after the Algerian Boxing Federation complained about World Boxing's decision to name the boxer. Ms Navratilova, the nine-time Wimbledon singles champion who has campaigned for gay rights, commented: 'But a male beating the crap out of women is not too bad, apparently.' This comment was hidden by the broadcaster and reinstated only after users complained. Dozens of other comments remain hidden, even though many of them simply state that the boxer is male. Credit: ITV Fiona McAnena, the director of campaigns at the women's rights charity Sex Matters, demanded an apology from ITV. She said: 'It's shocking that the UK's largest commercial broadcast network has censored hundreds of gender-critical comments on social media, many of them simply referring to Imane Khelif as male. 'Hiding a simple truth about a major news story is a remarkable failure by a journalistic organisation. 'It's scandalous that ITV hid a reply from tennis legend Martina Navratilova, which they reinstated after an outcry. But what of the hundreds of other replies that remain censored, some of which do nothing but quote JK Rowling about the boxing row? 'ITV cannot simply dismiss this as a social media storm. Unless ITV's leadership apologises for hiding factual comments from the public, it will damage its credibility as a respected news organisation.' Khelif won a gold medal at last year's Paris Olympics after being allowed to compete in the women's event even though the boxer had previously been disqualified from the 2023 World Championships when tests indicated the presence of male chromosomes. Earlier this week, World Boxing banned Khelif from fighting against women in the Eindhoven World Cup, unless the champion underwent a sex test, which was refused. Users of the social platform X can hide responses they do not like, meaning they do not automatically appear in people's feeds. But they cannot delete them, and followers can look at hidden responses if they choose. Dozens of other commenters were hidden for stating that the boxer was male. One, Hatkeshiator, said: 'It's hardly worse than pretending to be a chick so you can beat chicks up while they fear a ban if they complain. Get a grip.' Kyle Reese, another X user, wrote: 'I think the damage his mentally-ill man inflicted on women was far greater.' Florence Jeffries said: 'He punches women. What about the harm, physical and mental, suffered by them. He knows tests have shown him to have XY chromosomes.' Another commenter with the username Spacedonkey wrote: 'ITV has proven that trans ideology is misogynistic. ITV literally wants to silence women and has hidden a post by sports icon Martina Navratilova. ITV, how low can you sink?' Rebecca Marian said: 'Sending female boxers into the ring to box against a male could have resulted in life changing injuries or death for the women I frankly don't give a stuff for Khelif's 'psychological damage' He should never have been there.' A commenter called Steve wrote: 'Keep hiding the replies – you're a disgrace. The women he cheated against matter so much more than his so-called fragile mental state.' One was hidden for retweeting a comment by JK Rowling, who said: 'The media had all the evidence they needed, but chose to distort, obscure, and deflect because reality was politically inconvenient. They said Khelif was female. They were wrong. They said concerns were bigoted. They were wrong.' An ITV source claimed they used an automated moderation system, adding: 'It was initially set to a very strict moderation threshold, but has now been adjusted to be less stringent.' The broadcaster denied that comments had been selectively hidden. ITV have been approached for comment. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Love Island adds new hunky singleton to initial series 12 line-up
'Love Island' has added a rugby union player to its initial series 12 line-up. Athlete Conor Phillips, from Limerick, Ireland, will be hoping to strike up a romance with a "dominant" woman in the plush villa in Majorca. Asked what type of woman he would like to couple up with, the 25-year-old hunk said: "Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman." But the one thing that would turn the winger off from dating someone is if they are "needy" and not independent. Conor explained: "Being too needy or needing to do everything together. I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing." 'Love Island' is hosted by Maya Jama, and Conor thinks she would hire him based on his flirting skills alone. He said: "I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn't work, but it gets them laughing. It's an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course!" Series 12 of the hit show kicks off on Monday (09.06.25), and the Young Munster rugby team member has hinted he will be trying to serve up some drama for the viewers. Conor - who said he is the CEO of "mischief" - teased: "I'm the class clown type vibe. Being in big teams and groups all the time, I'm always mixing things up, stirring the pot." Meanwhile, another series 12 contestant has already left the villa due to "personal reasons" - just hours after ITV announced them in the line-up. The broadcaster confirmed Kyle Ashman, a 23-year-old water operative from Stafford, Staffordshire, will not be appearing on the show alongside 12 other singletons "as planned". A spokesman told The Sun newspaper: "For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the 'Love Island' villa as planned." Kyle hoped to couple up with someone who is "fun, confident and just themselves", although he did point out that his "communication skills" needed some work. He said: "I need to work on my communication skills. "In my previous 'situationships' my communication could have been better, put it that way." Kyle also told how he might struggle to sleep in the same room as someone who was being "too loud". He explained: "It's a hard question because if the right person does it, it's not an ick. "But maybe if someone is just too loud in general, like if it's time to go to sleep and they won't turn their volume down, that's an ick." 'Love Island' returns on Monday 9th June at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Play.

Two long shot picks to win the 2025 Belmont Stakes
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Guessing where the prices will go ahead of a Triple Crown race can be a tricky endeavor. There will be a lot more casual money in the pool than in a normal stakes race, so things can get a little funky behind the window as punters back horses with their favorite name, story, or connections. But the betting handle for the 2025 Belmont Stakes should be pretty easy to project. Most of the money is going to show up on the two favorites, No. 7 Journalism (8-5) and No. 2 Sovereignty (2-1). In all likelihood, Journalism and Sovereignty will go off shorter than 2-1, which could make this the tightest margin between the favorite and second choice at the Belmont Stakes since Strodes Creek (13-10) and Go For Gin (3-2) in 1994, per Ed DeRosa of Horse Racing Nation. It is easy to make the case for either Journalism or Sovereignty to win this race — the morning-line odds suggest it's essentially a 75 percent chance one of the favorites comes out on top — but there's a reason there are eight horses in this field, and not just two. After all, Go For Gin and Strodes Creek finished second and third, respectively, behind third-favorite Tabasco Cat in 1994. Here are my 2025 Belmont Stakes long-shot picks: No. 1 Hill Road (10-1) This price should balloon on race day. Not only will the punters be lining up to back the two headliners, but Baeza will be a trendy third choice, and Rodriguez will get plenty of support given the fact he's trained by Bob Baffert. That should set up a situation where Hill Road, who began his career in Ireland, will fly under the radar and hit the board at a big number. To do that, he'll need the race to follow a specific script. Like Sovereignty, Hill Road is a closer who will want the pace to be hot, and then melt down in the business end of the race. Should that happen, Hill Road could pass plenty of tiring foes on his way to a surprising finish. Crudo in his stall after his morning workout at Saratoga Race Course. Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images No. 5 Crudo (15-1) There are a couple of horses that could earnestly attempt to go from gate to wire in this field. Most pundits believe Rodriguez will be the horse that gets out into the lead from the jump, but Crudo could be right there with Baffert's entrant, or even jump out in front of the No. 3 horse. Rodriguez will be the trendier pick between the two front-running horses. Not only is he a Baffert-trained contender, but he will be fresh after he was scratched from the Kentucky Derby and skipped the Preakness. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps Those factors should keep his price in the single digits, while Crudo's odds hover around long-shot territory. But the real reason that Crudo, trained by Todd Pletcher, is a live long shot at Saratoga on Saturday is that he just wired the field in the Sir Barton Stakes three weeks ago on Preakness Day. The competition in that race was nowhere near what he'll face in the Belmont, but there's also a decent chance that this lightly raced horse owned by chef Bobby Flay and Jimmy Ventura continues to improve.
