Imane Khelif, Algerian Olympic gold medalist at Paris 2024, is embroiled in a gender controversy following leaked medical reports that allegedly prove she is biologically male with a male XY karyotype. The reports, published by 3 Wire Sports and based on tests from New Delhi in 2023, indicate that Khelif has chromosomes typically associated with males, which could lead to her suspension from future competitions. Despite denying being a biological male, Khelif faces mandatory sex testing under new regulations introduced by World Boxing, which now requires all athletes over 18 to undergo genetic testing to verify gender. The organization aims to ensure fair competition and has stated that athletes with male chromosomal makeup will compete in the male category, while those without will compete in the female category. Khelif’s case has attracted international media attention, with some outlets highlighting the potential implications for her career and the broader debate over gender eligibility in sports. The IOC and other governing bodies have questioned the legitimacy of the test results, with IOC president Thomas Bach dismissing them as misinformation. Khelif’s supporters argue she has always identified as a woman and plans to continue competing, aiming for another Olympic appearance in 2028. Meanwhile, her case has sparked widespread controversy and debate about fairness, gender identity, and the integrity of sports competitions.
