The 2024 Summer Olympics gold medalist in women’s boxing, Imane Khelif of Algeria, has become the center of controversy following the ’leak’ of a medical report, claiming that the olympian is infact a man.
Here’s what the ‘Leak’ report says
The document, obtained by French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia, reveals that Khelif possesses internal testicles and XY chromosomes, indicative of 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a condition affecting sexual development.
Remember the man who won an Olympic gold medal in women’s boxing?
His medical reports show he has XY chromosomes, male testosterone levels, testicles, & a micropenis.
But that never mattered—they believe that words & feelings make you woman, not biology.https://t.co/Ip8KLvEt6S

The report, prepared by medical experts from Paris and Algiers in June 2023, also mentioned an MRI that revealed the presence of a micropenis and confirmed the absence of a uterus.
Gender Identity In Question
This is not the first time Khelif’s gender identity has been questioned. In 2023, the International Boxing Association (IBA) disqualified her from competing in the World Championship Gold Medal fight in New Delhi due to similar concerns about her chromosomal makeup.
The Olympics wanted you to believe this is a WOMAN.
Imane Khelif was allowed to beat up women and claim a gold medal.
Those that stood up against the injustice were called ‘racist.’
Now, medical reports reveal Imane Khelif is in fact a MALE.
