figures such as Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and J.K. Rowling, speculating about Khelif’s eligibility to compete in women’s boxing.
Khelif has been participating in women’s boxing since she began her athletic career and is identified as a female on her passport.
The athlete and Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting were prohibited from participating in the world championships
last year by the IBA due to their failure to satisfy the gender eligibility requirements, which raised concerns regarding potential testosterone advantages.
Nevertheless, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has criticized the IBA’s tests as profoundly defective and has since prohibited them due to concerns regarding governance, alleged corruption, and affiliations with Russia.
