The US media leaked a gender test report for 2023, claiming that Algerian fighter Imane Khelif (Imane Khelif)
Having a male XY chromosome has plunged the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medallist in the women's 66kg boxing category into a gender controversy.
J.K. Rowling, author of "Harry Potter" J.K. Rowling, who has repeatedly spoken out that Keliff is a man. The International Olympic Committee (IOC), which is once again on the front lines to demand that Keliff be stripped of her Olympic gold medal, has responded to the incident by allowing Keliff to compete on the grounds that she was born female.
Algerian fighter Imane Khelif won the gold medal in the women's 66kg boxing category at the Paris Olympics, but has repeatedly been embroiled in gender controversy.
The American media "3 Wire Sports" recently disclosed a medical report claiming to belong to Keliff when she participated in the World Championships in 2023, and the analysis of the report showed that Limf had a male karyotype, that is, the XY chromosome.
Keliff has always insisted that she is a woman, and the IOC allows her to compete based on her sex on the athlete's passport (i.e. her biological sex at birth). In response to media inquiries following 3 Wire Sports' disclosure that she had an XY chromosome, the IOC said, "The IOC has always made it clear that the entry criteria are the responsibility of individual international sports organizations. The decisive factors for athletic performance in each sport are unique," he said, noting that "we are awaiting details on how gender testing can be implemented in a safe, fair and legally feasible manner." ”

Keliff could not pass the gender test and could not participate in World Boxing Federation events. The World Boxing Federation (World Boxing) has known the results of Keliff's medical examination report as early as 2023, and Keliff was disqualified from the World Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA) in March 2023 for failing to pass the gender test, but IOC President Thomas Bach has questioned the report's recognition, saying: "This is not a transgender case, but a woman participating in a women's competition." ”
The IOC used her passport gender as a basis to allow Kelif to compete in the Olympics, and she eventually won gold, but the process of promotion was controversial, with one defeated Italian female boxer saying that she had never been beaten so hard and "abstained to save her life".

The World Boxing Federation ruled last week to make gender tests mandatory for male and female fighters, stating that under a new policy, fighters would be required to take a "gender, age and weight" test, claiming that the move would provide a "safe and competitive" arena. The World Boxing Federation also disclosed the contents of the letter it had sent to the Algerian Boxing Federation, stating that she would not be able to participate in the women's events under the World Boxing Federation unless Kelliver underwent the genetic sex test required by the World Boxing Federation.
