Leaked Docs Reportedly Provide New Gender Details About Controversial Olympic Boxer Imane Khelif


During the Paris Olympics earlier this year, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif attracted widespread controversy for competing against women.

Although officials insisted that Khelif met Olympic testing standards, speculation continued to swirl that the athlete is genetically male.

Now, Reduxx is reporting that leaked medical records shed new light on the situation:

At the end of October, French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia obtained a copy of a thorough physical examination that was conducted on Khelif in order to verify the presence of a disorder of sexual development.

According to Aoudia, the clinical report reveals that an MRI determined that Khelif had no uterus, but instead had internal testicles and a “micropenis” resembling an enlarged clitoris. A chromosomal test further confirmed that Khelif has an XY karyotype, while a hormone test found that Khelif had a testosterone level typical of males. Aoudia also noted that doctors suggested Khelif’s parents may have been blood relatives.

The report concludes by recommending Khelif be referred for “surgical correction and hormone therapy,” to help him physically align with his self-perceived gender identity, and adds that psychological support would be required because the results had caused a “very significant neuropsychiatric impact.”

The news sparked significant social media discussion:

President Donald Trump’s campaign briefly cited the controversy as part of its closing argument to voters ahead of Tuesday’s election, per the Daily Mail:

In a video which claims ‘everything we cared about fell apart’ under the Biden-Harris administration, the Trump campaign shows footage of Khelif’s hand being raised at the Olympics when listing some examples.

The narrator then says: ‘Men can beat up women and win medals.’

Trump has previously taken aim at Khelif amid the controversy over her inclusion in women’s boxing at the Olympics.

During a recent appearance on The Undertaker’s ‘Six Feet Under’ podcast, Trump continually referred to Khelif as a ‘man’ after the WWE legend urged that ‘protecting’ women’s sports from transgenderathletes was a huge priority for him during the upcoming election.
