Olympic gender row -boxer Imane Khelif was affected by new accusations from a biological male.
Khelif won gold for Algeria at the Paris competitions in 2024 – a year after being Forbidden of the International Boxing Association Competition.
In 2023, the IBA Khelif forbade after tests in New Delhi to have produced the DNA of a “man”.
The IOC – which replaced the IBA as the boxing authorities of the Olympic boxing – were warned about the tests and insisted on removing Khelif from the competition.
But Khelif was allowed to box in Paris Because of her female passport status.
Now the alleged results of the sex test of the 2023 world championships have first been published by 3 Wire sports.
The medical report seems to indicate that the boxer is biologically male.
The American journalist Alan Abrahamson produced the result of a test that is said to be performed on the boxer in New Delhi in March 2023 – who caused the disqualification of the boxer.
The published document summarizes the findings about Khelif as “abnormal” and says: “Chromosome analysis reveals male karyotype.”
A karyotype refers to the full set of chromosomes of an individual, who in the case of Khelif was reported as XY, the male pattern.
The alleged test results carry the letterhead of Dr. Lal Pathlabs in New Delhi, accredited by the American College of Pathologists and certified by the Swiss international organization for standardization.
This immediately challenges what IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said in a tense news conference at the Olympic Games in Paris.
He described the results that Khelif saw as “ad hoc” and “not legitimate”.
IOC president Thomas Bach even claimed that the results are the product of a Russian-led incorrect information campaign.
It followed after the IBA – led by the Russian Umar Kremlev – was stripped of IOC recognition on ethics and financial management.
Khelif has always denied that it is an organic man and even called JK Rowling and Elon Musk In a court case of cyberbullying.
And the 26-year-old sworn to fight further, even by looking at another gold at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
But worldboxing has ruled that Khelif is not eligible to enter future events as a woman Without first submitting to the same chromosome tests that has already activated the disqualification of the boxer at a global level.
The administrative body – approved for the time being to run Olympic boxing in LA – announced that all athletes in its competitions older than 18 years have to undergo a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genetic test to determine their gender.
The test detects chromosomal material by a mouth bar, saliva or blood.
Khelif has not succeeded in providing any evidence of having female chromosomes in the nine months since the gender scandal broke out.
In February, Khelif spoke out in her defense and wrote: “I took over the main road for two years while my name and image have been used, unauthorized, to further personal and political agendas further lies and distribution of unbound lies and wrong information. But silence is no longer an option.
“The IBA, an organization that I am no longer associated with and that is no longer recognized by the IOC, has again made unfounded accusations that are false and offensive and use them to promote their agenda.
“This is a matter that not only me, but also the broader principles of fairness and the right process in sport.
“My team carefully reviews the situation and takes all the necessary legal steps to ensure that my rights and the principles of fair competition are maintained.
“Those responsible for these actions must be held responsible and we will pursue all legal ways to ensure that justice prevails.”
Sunsport has contacted the IOC for comment.
