The allegations of the female martial artist iMane Khelif (Algeria) are men who have appeared with dense density in recent days. This is more serious when the opponent of IMane Khelif gave up after only 46 seconds of the opening match. For that reason, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had to get involved.
IOC spokesman Mark Adams said: “There are two female boxers who have been accused of men before. However, their gender on the passport is recorded as female.
The above information was issued by IOC in the context that many media units reported that Imane Khelif was a transgender male athlete. The boxer said she was born as a female, and when she was a child who was banned from pursuing Boxing because “Muslim daughter was not allowed to learn martial arts.
On the side of the Algerian Boxing Federation, they claimed that there were some units accusing Imane Khelif as men carrying more or less transparent motives. This may be a “cowardly conspiracy” to reduce the chance of winning the Algerian sports delegation in this year's Olympics.
In fact, in the case of a female athlete suspected, alleged as men, IOC may conduct a DNA assessment to determine the gender of the athletes in terms of biological. This will be the most objective and accurate result, and completely remove all the controversy about the fairness in the Paris Olympic Games 2024.
However, the IOC has never made a sex test with Imane Khelif, as well as Lin Yu Ting (Taipei China). Both have been released by the International Boxing Association (IBA) at the World Championship 2023, when IBA concluded that these two boxers were actually men.
