Leaked Report Reveals Imane Khelif’s Is Male; Harbhajan Reacts

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif gained significant attention during the Paris 2024 Olympics. She won a gold medal in the women’s 66kg category; however, many questioned her eligibility. As a result, several individuals labeled her as a biological man.

Leaked Medical Report Sparks Debate

Months after the Olympics, a leaked medical report reignited concerns. French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia obtained the report, which stated that Khelif is biologically male. Specifically, the report indicated that she has internal testicles and XY chromosomes, suggesting a condition known as 5-alpha reductase insufficiency.

Moreover, medical experts from Kremlin-Bicetre Hospital in Paris and Mohamed Lamine Debaghine Hospital in Algiers prepared this report in June 2023. The findings detailed Khelif’s biological traits, noting her internal testicles and absence of a uterus. Furthermore, an MRI reportedly showed the presence of a micropenis, according to Redux.

Reactions and Implications

In response to the report’s release, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh took to social media. He tagged the Olympics and called for them to revoke Khelif’s gold medal. This reaction reflects the growing concern over fairness in women’s sports.

Ban from International Competition

Additionally, in 2023, the International Boxing Association (IBA) took action against Khelif. They banned her from competing in the World Championship Gold Medal fight in New Delhi. This ban highlights the ongoing controversies surrounding gender and eligibility in sports.

Political Ramifications

Moreover, the controversy extended into U.S. politics. Presidential candidate Donald Trump seized on Khelif’s case in an ad campaign. He criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s gender policies and aimed to elevate the issue as a key point in his campaign. By doing so, he attempted to convert a sports controversy into a broader political issue.
