Piers Morgan forced to delete social media post after gender row boxer Imane Khelif triumphs over China's Yang Liu to claim Olympic gold<br />Algerian did not lose a single round on her road to glory at Paris Games <br />Morgan weighed in on saga with misguided post before correcting it <br />Khelif's participation at the Olympics has been met with widespread controversy<br /><br />The broadcaster said: 'A biological male just beat a biological male to win an Olympic gold medal in a women's competition. <br /><br />'Congrats to everyone who supported this travesty.'<br /><br />In declaring Khelif a 'biological male', Morgan evoked the language of the Russia-dominated International Boxing Association who used the term to describe the Algerian after banning her from the World Championships over an alleged 'failed gender test'.<br /><br />It is not clear why the Piers Morgan Uncensored host described Liu as a 'biological male' but it is possible he confused her with Lin Yu-Ting, who has also been at the centre of the controversy.<br /><br />The 59-year-old then put up a replacement post, which said: 'BREAKING: A biological male just won an Olympic Gold medal in a women’s boxing competition. <br /><br />'Congrats to everyone who supported this travesty.'<br /><br />When faced with criticism over his post from several social media users, Morgan wrote: 'Imane was banned from the World Championships after testing positive for male XY chromosomes. She didn’t appeal it. If she’s a biological woman, she should take another test now and prove it. Spoiler alert: she won’t'<br /><br />The Taiwanese boxer was also banned from the Worlds for the same alleged reason but fights in a different weight class.
