‘Big shame’: Women’s Olympic boxing gold medalist Imane Khelif condemns politicians who claim he is 'a transgender,' saying it dishonors his family, Algeria, and the Arab world to identify as such.
Speculation surrounds the male boxer who failed a chromosomal blood screen to compete as female in last year's World Championships. Some believe he may have a DSD, leading to misidentification as female at birth. Regardless of any developmental syndromes or how he self-identifies, the male development pathway gives him a significant advantage over women in the ring. For this reason, all male athletes should be barred from competing in Women’s Olympic competition.
