Just days after World Boxing declared that female boxers must complete a mandatory gender test in order to compete, directly challenging controversial Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif’s status in the amateur boxing arena, a new bombshell report has now shed light on the Algerian boxers true gender.
In an article published yesterday (June 1) by Alan Abrahamson of 3 Wire Sports, the leaked medical records from Khelif’s tests carried out in 2022 and 2023 ahead of the Paris Olympics have now been made public.
“Unless someone manipulates the evidence, the result is going to be crystal clear, déjà vu all over again, because in chromosome tests given amid the International Boxing Association’s 2022 and 2023 world championships, the boxer’s DNA showed XY markers with “male” karyotypes,” Abrahamson wrote.
Abrahamson would go on to note that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) knew this, but still allowed Khelif to compete.
…
Khelif has yet to issue a statement on the report, but her status in both amateur and professional boxing is potentially in jeopardy now more than ever.
So stop saying “her status” already.
And stop saying “gender” if you mean “sex”.
No reliable source has reported Khelif’s sex because publishing leaked personal medical information is not the sort of thing that a reliable source does. That formula will fit the bill nicely for umpteen reliable sourcerers to continue blandly and unthinkingly saying that nothing has changed and no rethinking is required. That is the way reliable sourcery works.
