International Boxing Association Issued Demand To Imane Khelif
PARIS, FRANCE, JUL 01 – Imane Khelif responded publicly after the IOC confirmed she will keep her 2024 Olympic gold despite prior failed gender tests and new policies protecting female athletes.
- Imane Khelif secured the gold medal in the women's 66kg boxing event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, despite facing controversy regarding her gender eligibility.
- The controversy arose after leaked 2023 medical test results suggested Khelif had male XY chromosomes, leading to calls for her to be stripped of the medal.
- The International Olympic Committee, led by new president Kirsty Coventry, formed a working group to protect the female category and address transgender athlete policies.
- Coventry stated there is "unanimous support" for a policy amendment inspired by World Athletics, emphasizing protection of women's sports with a scientific approach.
- While Khelif retains her title for now, the IOC plans stricter eligibility tests, and the case highlights ongoing debates on fairness and inclusion in female sports categories.
