Originally written in 2023 by French and Algerian endocrinology experts at the Bicetre Hospital in Paris and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine Hospital in Algiers, the report noted that Khelif suffers from a sexual developmental disorder found only in biological males.
The gender test Khelif underwent allegedly showed that the boxer had no uterus, but had "internal testicles" instead and a "micropenis" that, because of the disorder, looked like an enlarged clitoris. Khelif also had an XY karyotype and testosterone levels that are found only in men.
Khelif received international attention after winning the women's welterweight gold medal in boxing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, during which the boxer was accused of being biologically male. Khelif later retained the services of a legal team that went after anybody who publicly questioned the boxer's gender. Nabil Boudi, the head of the team, said that they would fight for "justice, dignity and honor" on behalf of Khelif.
But these tests have confirmed that Khelif actually is a man.
Umar Kremlev, president of the International Boxing Association and who previously banned Khelif and another boxer from the IBA Women's World Boxing Championships New Delhi 2023 due to their refusal to undergo testosterone examinations, is now demanding an apology from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its president, Thomas Bach, for allowing Khelif to compete in the women's category.

"Today, as the president of the [IBA], which upholds gender equality and protects both women's and men's boxing, I demand that Thomas Bach and his team both verbally and in writing, apologize to the global boxing community," Kremlev said.
Other superstar athletes have also come out in support of the report and have condemned Khelif, including Czech tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who wrote on X: "Imane might have been raised as a woman, but Imane is a biological male and should not have been allowed to box at the Olympics."
British swimmer and Olympic Sharron Davies also called out the IOC for ignoring Khelif's medical history, resulting in two biological men being allowed to participate in the women's boxing categories and who were then "allowed to cheat their way to gold medals."
"I will not stand by and watch another generation of female athletes robbed … whilst the IOC are negligent in their duty of care, safety and fairness," added Davies.
Algerian Olympic Committee comes to Imane Khelif's defense
The Algerian Olympic Committee (COA) has criticized the report as part of the "ongoing and baseless attacks" against Khelif. The COA claims that the leaked medical assessment on Khelif from 2023 is unverified.
"These attacks, often based on unsubstantiated allegations, aim to tarnish the image of an athlete who has brought honor to our nation on the international stage," said COA in a statement sent to media outlets. "We firmly condemn these attempts at destabilization, which have no place in the world of sports."
"These claims, which have persisted for several months, are entirely unfounded and contradict the values and principles of the Olympic movement," the COA added.
