“Thank you to all the parents who choose, every day, for being there for their children. With @unicefalgerie, I celebrate these everyday heroes. Because when parents are supported, children can dream and succeed.”
The publication of Khelif’s social media came as a 3 -sports report, citing medical documents from the chromosomal tests given by the International Boxing Association (IBA) before the 2022 and 2023 world championships, reported that Khelif DNA showed “markers with male karyotypes”.
The International Olympic Committee (CIO) has decomposed the IBAs in the midst of concerns concerning the governance of the organization, financial dependence on the Russian state company Gazprom and the integrity of the fighting.
“Chromosomal analysis reveals a male karyotype. No digital or chromosomal anomaly detected at 450-550 resolution of bands”, a screenshot of the document on 3 reading wired. The test was in an accredited laboratory in New Delhi, called Dr. Lal Pathlabs, before the boxing championships, according to 3 Wire Sports.
PK Press Club Digital contacted world boxing, the Algerian Olympic Committee and Khelif representatives to comment.
The IOC published a statement to PK Press Club Digital Tuesday morning.
“The IOC has always indicated that the eligibility criteria are the responsibility of the respective international federation,” said the IOC. “The factors that matter for sports are specific to each sport, discipline and / or event. We expect all the details of how sexual tests will be implemented safely, fair and legally enforceable.”
Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 championships before a gold medal fight on the problems of eligibility between the sexes.

The boxer was put under the world’s projectors after qualifying for the Olympic Games, the controversy between the sexes that was revealed. Khelif defeated Angela Carini during the initial fight during the Paris Olympic Games, and the IOC defended Khelif.
“Everyone competes in the women’s category complies with the eligibility rules for the competition,” said IOC spokesperson Mark Adams. “They are women in their passports, and it is said that it is, that they are women.”
Then, the IBA doubled, claiming that Khelif – with Taiwan Lin Yu -Alling – was disqualified from the world championships because of “the result of their inability to meet the criteria of eligibility to participate in female competition, as being set and disputed in the level of IBA regulations. This decision, taken after a metal examination, was extremely important and necessary to hold the integrity of competition. ” “”
The IBA added that Khelif underwent two tests: one in 2022 and the other in 2023. The IBA said that Khelif had appealed the decision to the court for arbitration of the sport but withdrew during the process, making the “legally binding IBA decision”.
As the controversy increased, Khelif continued to win and finally received a gold medal.
Throughout the controversy, Khelif argued that their sex is a woman. Khelif even filed a complaint against detractors and criticism on social networks.

Before World Boxing made his decision, Khelif planned to participate in the 2028 Olympic Games despite the signing of the decree “No Men in Women’s Sports” by President Donald Trump.
Khelif told ITV that policies do not apply to the boxer.
“I will give you a simple answer: the American president has made a decision related to transgender policies in America. I am not transgender. It does not concern me, and that does not intimidate me. This is my answer,” Khelif told the point of sale.
“For me, I consider myself a girl, like any other girl. I was born a girl, raised as a girl and I lived all my life as one.”
World Boxing said last week that Khelif was to have a sexual test before being able to compete in sanctioned fights.
“IMANE KHELIF may not participate in the female category of the Eindhoven Box Cup, June 5-10, 2025 and any world boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes genetic screening of the sexes in accordance with the rules of world boxing and test procedures”, a letter sent by world boxing to the Alglerian Boxing FEDERATION READ.
The letter also indicated that world boxing had decided to adopt compulsory sexual tests this month.
“These new eligibility rules have been developed in order to protect athletes in combat sports, in particular given the physical risks associated with Olympic style boxing,” said the letter.
World boxing has added to a press release that new policies are “designed only to ensure the health and safety of all global boxing competitions (including Imane Khelif) and are not considered to be pre-judge the result of any test that will be introduced in the new policy on the sex, age and weight”. ” “”
On Monday, World Boxing apologized to the Algerian Boxing Federation for choosing Khelif in the letter.
“I am writing to you everyone personally to offer formal and sincere excuses for this and recognize that his private life should have been protected,” said world boxing president Boris Van der Vorst in a letter.
