The truth has emerged about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, the most controversial name of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Reduxx, a feminist movement platform, obtained a report by a French journalist in the case of Algerian boxer Khelif. According to the report, it reached a conclusion revealing Khelif's testes.
The report was learned to have been prepared in June 2023 through cooperation between a hospital in Paris, France, and a hospital in Algeria.
This report is consistent with the admission by Khelif's coach, Georges Cazorla, that the Algerian boxer was evaluated after being disqualified from women's boxing by the International Boxing Association (IBA) in March 2023.
The report, prepared by specialist endocrinologists Soumaya Fedala and Jacques Young, reveals that Khelif is affected by 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, a disorder of sex development found only in biological males.
Cazorla had previously acknowledged in an interview that there was a problem with Khelif's chromosomes.
KHELIF HAD SAID, 'I AM A WOMAN'
After the gender debate escalated, Khelif and the Algerian administration also made a statement and said the boxer was born female.
WON GOLD AT PARIS 2024
Competing in the 66-kilogram boxing category at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Khelif defeated all opponents and won the gold medal. At the time, there was a major backlash against France and the International Olympic Committee over the Algerian boxer, the most controversial figure of the Games.
INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE REMAINS SILENT
Despite the report, the Olympic Committee had allowed Khelif to compete against women. This situation led to intense criticism and various reactions in the media. Many boxers said that the situation in the matches posed a danger to life. The International Olympic Committee has not yet made a statement regarding the document that emerged. Whether Khelif's medal will be taken away is not yet clear.
