'Male': Leaked medical report alleges women's boxing champ Imane Khelif has XY chromosomes



The alleged results of a gender test for Olympic women's boxing champion Imane Khelif indicate that the athlete possesses male chromosomes.

The Algerian won gold in women's 66kg boxing at the Paris Olympics in 2024 without losing a single round. Khelif's inclusion in the women's division sparked a forfeit, an adversarial gesture, and practically unlimited controversy over the claim that he was a man beating up women. After nearly an entire year of denial, defiance, and hate speech accusations, conclusive evidence finally may have emerged to confirm that Khelif is male.

'This violence will not be allowed in the United States for the next Olympics ...'

3 Wire Sports recently revealed a page alleged to be from a 2023 chromosomal test conducted to determine Khelif's sex. The page listed the results of the test as "abnormal" before stating that "chromosome analysis reveals Male karyotype."

The outlet firmly referred to the test results as "crystal clear" and said the results confirm that Khelif has male XY chromosomes.

Khelif and his team not only have denied that he is transgender but also openly claimed the boxer was born and raised female.

"I see myself as a girl, just like any other girl," Khelif said in March. "I was born a girl, raised as a girl, and have lived my entire life as one."

The latest confirmation is actually the fourth time a source has gone on the record to declare that Khelif is male, though. The International Boxing Association, the World Boxing Organization, and endocrinological experts all have independently determined that Khelif is a man.

Former NCAA athlete and women's activist Kaitlynn Wheeler agreed, telling Blaze News that "Imane Khelif is a male who beat up women. This violence will not be allowed in the United States for the next Olympics, and it never should have been allowed in the first place."

The report also calls attention to another 2024 Olympic boxer — Taiwanese gold medalist Yu Ting Lin.

As Blaze News reported last August, Lin won in the women's 57kg boxing division despite accusations of being a man — and having reportedly failed a gender test at the same time as Khelif.

The International Olympic Committee acknowledged in its internal system that Lin was “stripped of her bronze medal after failing to meet eligibility requirements based on the results of a biochemical test" after the 2023 World Boxing Championships.

3 Wire Sports also claimed to have seen Lin's test and confirmed the Taiwanese boxer to be male.

The test results come just days after World Boxing said Khelif would have to submit to a gender test before being allowed to compete at the world championships.

"World Boxing has written to the Algerian Boxing Federation to inform it that Imane Khelif will not be allowed to participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup or any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes sex testing," the organization said, per World Boxing News.

World Boxing introduced mandatory sex testing for its events moving forward as part of a new policy on "Sex, Age and Weight."

'Still the same male who stole a women's Olympic gold medal': Imane Khelif returning to women's boxing after gender dustup



Controversial boxer Imane Khelif will defend a 2024 Dutch boxing championship next month, returning to women's boxing for the first time since winning Olympic gold last summer in Paris.

At the Olympics, one female opponent of Khelif's forfeited, and another made a provocative gesture after it was revealed that Khelif was a male competing in the women's category. The International Boxing Association, the World Boxing Organization, and endocrinological experts all independently determined that Khelif is a man.

'Proud that Imane Khelif is there again to defend her title!'

The latter research group also revealed that Khelif had the "absence of a uterus" and the presence of "gonads in inguinal canals," meaning testicles in the abdomen.

Still, Khelif persisted with claims that he was being attacked due to simple hate and made vows to return to women's boxing. The athlete even dared President Donald Trump to try and bar him from the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Khelif has since been announced as a participant in the eighth Eindhoven Box Cup in the Netherlands, where he will defend his 2024 women's title. The organization announced the five-day boxing tournament on X and specifically celebrated Khelif's return. While the aforementioned X post was taken down, you can still view it here: "In 2 weeks the biggest boxing event in Europe in Eindhoven! Proud that Imane Khelif is there again to defend her title!"

Results from 2024's competition showed that Khelif defeated female boxers almost as easily as he did at the Olympics. Over three bouts, the Algerian dropped just one point out of a possible 15 — meaning a judge voted for an opponent of Khelif's only once.

At the Olympics, Khelif won all four bouts by unanimous decisions.

The boxer's return garnered disdain from NCAA championship swimmer and activist Riley Gaines, who called Khelif, "Still the same male who stole a women's Olympic gold medal."

Khelif, 26, last made public comments in March and was sticking to the idea that he always has been, and still is, a "girl."

"I see myself as a girl, just like any other girl. I was born a girl, raised as a girl, and have lived my entire life as one," the boxer claimed.

The Eindhoven Box Cup runs from June 5 to June 10.

Imane Khelif dares Trump administration to stop him from defending gold medal at 2028 Olympics: 'I am not transgender'



Imane Khelif said President Donald Trump's executive order does not matter in terms or whether or not the boxer will be able to compete in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Khelif has become a controversial figure after beating women in boxing at the 2024 Paris Olympics despite multiple groups concluding he is male. The International Boxing Association and the World Boxing Organization determined Khelif to be a man, as did a team of endocrinologists who reportedly revealed a pelvic MRI of Khelif that showed the "absence of a uterus" and the presence of "gonads in inguinal canals," meaning testicles in the abdomen.

During a recent interview, Khelif continued to deny these allegations and added to his months-long campaign of accusing public figures of hate speech.

"I won the gold medal, which was the best response after all the bullying I was subjected to. My response during the Paris Olympics was always in the ring. And responding by winning the gold medal was even better," Khelif said.

"I see myself as a girl, just like any other girl. I was born a girl, raised as a girl, and have lived my entire life as one," the boxer later added.

Khelif told ITV that his victory in the women's boxing category was the most important triumph at the last Olympics, because it not only came with "ethical" and "athletic" implications, but also was significant for the idea of "sportsmanship," as well.

The Algerian admitted to being shocked when "heads of state, famous figures, and former athletes" spoke about the ordeal, which is likely what led to the boxer filing criminal hate-speech complaints in France, including claims of "aggravated cyber harassment."

Author J.K. Rowling, Elon Musk, and President Trump were all accused by the athlete of being far too mean in their criticisms.

Still, Khelif said critics were speaking "without any reliable or documented information," calling all the sources that accuse the boxer of being male not "trustworthy."

"The IBA is not recognized by the International Olympic Committee, which means this federation lacks credibility and is not trusted within the Olympic Games," Khelif claimed. "At this point, I can say that the IBA is a thing of the past."

'Those who have nothing to hide should have no fear.'

The 25-year-old insisted that President Trump's executive order aimed at preventing men from competing in women's sports would not be an issue at the Olympics in Los Angeles, which will take place during Trump's term.

Bluntly, Khelif said he is not transgender.

"I will give you a straightforward answer: The U.S. president issued a decision related to transgender policies in America. I am not transgender. This does not concern me, and it does not intimidate me. That is my response."

Khelif went on, "As we say in Algeria, those who have nothing to hide should have no fear."

The controversial gold medalist fully intends to compete at the games in Los Angeles, and with reports that the IOC will be asked to ban athletes purporting to be transgender, there could be a very public standoff leading up to the 2028 games.

The IOC typically leaves athlete testing and rules up to governing bodies that pertain to each sport, but after the IBA was dropped by the Olympics before the 2020 games, the IOC decided to govern boxing on its own, which involved no gender testing.

"Of course, I defend with everything I have, this gold medal," Khelif concluded. "I continue my dream, my everything."

Imane Khelif voted third place for Female Athlete of the Year in AP journalist poll



Some Associated Press reporters believe that Imane Khelif is the best female athlete of 2024, a new poll revealed.

Khelif, who won gold at the Paris Olympics in women's 66kg boxing, did so despite many claims stating that as a biological man, he was not eligible for the women's category.

Even though the International Boxing Association, World Boxing Organization, and endocrinological experts have all determined that Khelif was born a man, the boxer is still mystifying audiences enough to garner votes as the top female athlete of the year.

'A black eye for women's sports.'

In the AP Female Athlete of the Year voting, Khelif received four votes from a pool of 74 sports journalists, putting the boxer in third place.

Basketball star Caitlin Clark took home the award, however, with 35 votes, and Olympic gymnast Simone Biles took second place with 25 votes.

Jennifer Sey, an Olympian and women's sports advocate, called the vote "a punch in the face (ironically) for female athletes everywhere."

She added, "[It's] a black eye for women's sports and the AP. And a reminder that the woke-sters won't go quietly and they think men qualify as among the very best women."

"No more males in women’s sports!" another woman's account stated, along with an attached video of Khelif in a blazer at a recent appearance.

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines responded to a post about the news, saying that Khelif "has a micropenis," before citing that Khelif's "medical record shows he has XY chromosomes, internal testes, no uterus, male levels of testosterone, & a micropenis."

"This means a man ... won an Olympic women's gold medal in boxing," Gaines concluded.

Gaines is likely referring to the endocrinological report that stated Khelif has testicless, a penis, and XY chromosomes. A pelvic MRI also reportedly revealed the "absence of a uterus."

The same report said Khelif has a condition called Alpha 5 reductase type 2, a genetic anomaly that causes "metabolic dysfunction in testosterone and dehydroandrosterone," which affects sexual development before birth and during puberty.

The report came after the WBO said a 2022 gender test "clearly revealed that the Algerian boxer is biologically male."

The IBA disqualified Khelif from its women's category in 2023, with President Umar Kremlev saying Khelif had “XY chromosomes."

Khelif has denied being a man and even filed hate speech complaints in France against celebrities like Elon Musk and author J.K. Rowling.

Paralympics Now Letting Trans Athletes Ruin Women’s Sports

Are ‘Team USA’ Americans ready for another year of males competing in paralympic and college women’s sports?

Algerian Imane Khelif files complaint with online hate unit over harassment about boxer's gender and image



Controversial Algerian boxer Imane Khelif filed a complaint asking that authorities look into online harassment about the fighter's gender and image.

Khelif made headlines in the first fight of the 2024 Olympics when Angela Carini of Italy forfeited over safety fears from her opponent's overwhelming advantage. Khelif and the International Olympic Committee were assailed on social media after the boxer was approved for fighting despite failing gender tests and being banned from other competitions.

'People have conspired against Algeria.'

Khelif's attorney Nabil Boudi filed a complaint against harassment at the online hate unit of the Paris prosecutor’s office. The New York Times reported that it was unclear where the complaint would lead and how the prosecutor's office would handle the matter.

“This unfair harassment suffered by the boxing champion will remain the biggest stain of these Olympic Games,” said Boudi, who also characterized the harassment as a part of a “misogynistic, racist and sexist campaign.”

Khelif's defenders say the fighter was assigned female at birth and had always identified as a female.

Despite the criticism, Khelif was allowed to fight and went on to defeat China’s Yang Liu on Friday to win the gold medal in women's boxing for Algeria.

Khelif had previously claimed that the online harassment was a conspiracy against Algeria.

"People have conspired against Algeria so that its flag doesn't get raised, and it doesn't win the gold medal," the fighter said.

Rafael Lozano, a former Olympian and current boxing coach for Spain, opined that Khelif had hurt many women during training that he witnessed at a boxing center in Madrid. When put up against males, Khelif appeared to be more equally challenged, according to Lozano.

"From my point of view, I don't see it as fair," he said.

Controversial Algerian boxer who failed gender tests wins gold medal in women's boxing at Olympics



A boxer with male sex chromosomes took the gold medal in women's middleweight boxing at the Paris Olympics despite public uproar denouncing the rules that allowed the unfair competition.

Imane Khelif of Algeria won a decisive victory 5-0 on Friday over China’s Yang Liu.

'My objection, and that of many others, is to male violence against women becoming an Olympic sport.'

"For eight years, this has been my dream, and I'm now the Olympic champion and gold medalist," Khelif said through an interpreter, according to ESPN.

Both the International Boxing Association and the World Boxing Organization found that Khelif was biologically a man, but the International Olympic Committee decided to allow Khelif to box in the women's category despite the finding.

"That also gives my success a special taste because of those attacks," Khelif responded when asked about the criticism. "We are in the Olympics to perform as athletes, and I hope that we will not see any similar attacks in future Olympics."

Khelif has previously blamed a "conspiracy" against Algeria for the criticism.

"People have conspired against Algeria so that its flag doesn't get raised, and it doesn't win the gold medal," the boxer said.

The gold medal is Algeria's first in women's boxing.

Among those most critical of the gender debacle was world-famous author J.K. Rowling.

"Commentators pretending critics of the IOC’s reliance on documents rather than sex testing think Khelif is trans are straw-manning. I don’t claim Khelif is trans. My objection, and that of many others, is to male violence against women becoming an Olympic sport," she wrote on X.

Olympics Boxing Fiasco Is More Proof Men Don’t Belong In Women’s Sports

WATCH: Caitlyn Jenner’s take on controversial Olympic boxer pummeling women in the ring



The Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has sparked an online firestorm, as people viciously spar over whether or not the athlete is biologically male or female. According to what the mainstream media and the IOC are saying, Khelif is not transgender but was born female with a condition called DSD that causes the development of XY chromosomes. Others say that it is impossible to have XY chromosomes and be anything other than a biological male.

Caitlyn Jenner, who largely pioneered the transgender movement, spoke about the controversy during a recent Fox interview.

Dave Rubin plays the clip.

“First of all, if you’re dealing with being intersex, we’re talking about 0.001% of the population. It’s a very, very small portion of the population,” Jenner said, adding that the “media is so hypersensitive about this.”

“I think the Olympic Committee did absolutely the wrong thing by letting her compete. ... The IOC just didn't do their job at the beginning and then the media got a hold of this and blew the whole thing up. But shame on the IOC for not protecting the integrity of women's sports and shame on the IOC for not protecting the safety of women's sports, obviously,” Jenner continued, noting that “this is a safety issue.”

Sabo strikes ... the Olympic Games



It's not that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif doesn't look like a woman — this is the Olympics, not a beauty contest.

It's that Khelif doesn't punch like a woman, either — at least judging by Italian boxer Angela Carini's reaction after Khelif hit her in the face with a punishing straight right. Just 46 seconds into the bout, Carini gave up.

Carini was in severe pain, but she wasn't injured. This was a pre-emptive decision for her own safety. Khelif hit with a power that Carini had never faced from any other female opponent in her boxing career.

Now, maybe Khelif is simply that talented and Carini just a sore loser who met her match.

But the news that Khelif had previously been disqualified from last year's world championships after unspecified sex testing by a different regulatory authority, the International Boxing Association, certainly raises suspicions — suspicions that won't be allayed any time soon. The IBA isn't allowed to reveal the tests it based the disqualification on. And the media instantly paints any attempts to pursue the issue as ideologically motivated — a "transvestigation," if you will.

Making this a "trans" issue is disingenuous; ironically, activists refuse to admit that Khelif could be one of those rare cases in which sex really is on a spectrum: those classified as intersex or as having differences in sex development. In these cases, even a person with XX chromosomes could have significantly more testosterone than other women, providing a distinct physical advantage.

Carini and other female athletes like her deserve clarity on this issue.

In the meantime, the spectacle of Carini's despair in defeat remains haunting. It's the despair of someone denied the chance to prove herself in fair competition.

It's this image that dissident artist Sabo highlights in his latest work, seen above. A biting commentary on what gender ideology has done to girls' and women's sports.

Meanwhile, having already clinched a bronze medal, Khelif continues to tear through the competition. Khelif will face Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng late this afternoon in the semifinals.
