‘Not a transgender issue’: What you need to know about Imane Khelif at the Olympics

The gender row engulfing the Olympic women’s boxing competition exploded this week after the first opponent of the Algerian fighter who failed two sex tests abandoned their bout after 46 seconds.

Italy’s Angela Carini was given a suspected broken nose by Imane Khelif, whom the International Olympic Committee controversially allowed to enter the welterweight event in Paris despite the 25-year-old being disqualified by the International Boxing Association last year following gender testing.

Khelif’s next opponent, Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori, who in the build-up to their quarter-final fight shared an incendiary picture portraying the Algerian boxer as a ‘beast’, went the distance but was ultimately overpowered.

Khelif’s ongoing participation has raised serious questions for the IOC and IBA, several of which remain unanswered.

What is Khelif’s actual sex?

This has yet to be confirmed and there may not even be a straightforward answer. Khelif was disqualified from last year’s Women’s World Boxing Championships after undergoing what IBA president Umar Kremlev told Russian news agency TASS had been DNA tests.

He added: “Based on the results of the tests, it was proven that they have XY [male] chromosomes. Such athletes were excluded from the competition.”

The IBA this week confirmed Khelif was also tested at the previous year’s World Championships, adding she had not undergone “a testosterone examination” but was “subject to a separate and recognised test, whereby the specifics remain confidential”.

It said Khelif had initially lodged an appeal against her disqualification with the Court of Arbitration for Sport only to withdraw it. The IOC, meanwhile, has already stated “this is not a transgender issue” and pointed out she also competed at the last Olympics in Tokyo, but it has provided no further clarity as to Khelif’s status.

It is most likely the boxer is an athlete born with differences in sex development (DSD), akin to middle-distance runner Caster Semenya. The extent of any such differences can vary but those with DSD assigned as female at birth often possess internal testes that produce testosterone, giving them a potential size and strength advantage over those without them.

Why is Khelif allowed to compete at the Olympics?

After previously policing gender eligibility at the Games, the IOC has passed the buck to the international federations of individual sports, many of which have now banned transgender women from competing in female events. The likes of athletics also have rules in place governing those with DSD, which are enforced at the Olympics.

So, under normal circumstances, you would expect the IOC to follow the IBA’s lead when it comes to Khelif’s eligibility. However, the IBA has not run the Olympic boxing competition since 2016 following a major corruption scandal, with the IOC instead taking charge.

That has seen it use arguably out-of-date gender-eligibility rules at the Games, prompting major criticism from women’s rights campaigners. The fact it is effectively at war with the IBA and that a rival international federation, World Boxing, could end up running the sport at the Olympics in future have also not helped when it comes to alignment between the two bodies.

It is also unclear why Khelif was disqualified by the IBA only before her gold-medal match at last year’s World Championships given she had been tested a year earlier, when she won silver.

Is Khelif the only boxer to fail a gender test?

No. Like Khelif, Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting is also participating at these Olympic Games and was disqualified from last year’s World Championships as a result of similar tests conducted there and the previous year.

She was stripped of a bronze medal won at last year’s event. She had won gold the previous year, to add to a bantamweight title she had claimed in 2018.

Yu-Ting won her first fight at Paris 2024 with victory over Uzbekistan’s Sitora Turdibekova in the women’s 57kg round of 16.

How likely is Khelif to win?

She is the heavy favourite. The majority of leading bookmakers have even halted betting on her category, signalling how strongly tipped she has become.

What happens next?

It will be interesting to see if further abandonments, or even boycotts, follow. Sharron Davies, the British swimming icon turned women’s rights campaigner, told Telegraph Sport: “Boxing countries need to come together and say, ‘Enough!’, to protect female boxers and the integrity of the sport.”

Any legal challenge to the IOC regulations would likely have to be lodged with a civil court by an affected athlete and would be potentially very expensive.

Eligibility-row boxer Khelif secures Paris medal

BBC

Sat, Aug 3, 2024, 11:37 PM GMT+6·3 min read

Boxer Imane Khelif, whose gender eligibility has been called into question, was in tears after guaranteeing a welterweight medal at the Paris Olympics by beating Hungarian Luca Anna Hamori.

The Algerian is one of two boxers competing in Paris despite being banned from last year's World Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA) after she was reported to have failed gender eligibility tests, a situation which has sparked huge controversy.

The 25-year-old's previous bout lasted just 46 seconds but Khelif, having entered the ring to cheers from loud Algerian support, went the full three rounds on Saturday, winning by unanimous decision.

"I feel good," an emotional Khelif told BBC sports editor Dan Roan.

"It's the first medal in women's boxing in Algeria - I'm very happy. I want to thank all the world and the Arabic world - thank you so much."

Hamori said prior to the fight she did not "think it is fair" Khelif was competing, but the bout was largely fought in good spirits.

The pair shared an embrace after the bell and again after the result was confirmed.

"It was a very hard day for both of us but I just want to say it was a great fight and I wish good luck to Khelif in the future, and thank you so much," Hamori said.

Asked again if she thought the fight was unfair, Hamori, who was booed into the arena, said: "I don't care about it."

Shortly after the fight, Algeria president Abdelmadjid Tebboune posted on social media: "You have honoured Algeria, Algerian women and Algerian boxing. We will stand by your side, whatever your results are. Good luck in the next two rounds and moving forward."

Khelif will meet Janjaem Suwannapheng, who beat favourite Busenaz Surmeneli - the 2021 Olympic champion from Turkey - in the semi-final on Tuesday.

Even if she loses Khelif will leave the Paris Games with a bronze medal.

Boxing controversy - what we know and what we don't

Bach defends Khelif and Lin competing in Olympics

Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting have been strongly backed amid tense debate by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), who run the boxing competitions at the Games.

IOC president Thomas Bach said earlier on Saturday there was "never any doubt" the pair are women.

Khelif reached the final of last year's World Championships before being disqualified by the IBA - a Russia-led organisation suspended by the IOC in 2019 because of concerns over its finances, governance, ethics, refereeing and judging.

The IBA said Khelif had "failed to meet the eligibility criteria for participating in the women's competition, as set and laid out" in its regulations.

The IOC said the pair were "suddenly disqualified without any due process".

'Controversy is a joke'

Yacine Arab, the sport manager of the Algeria National Olympic Committee, said the controversy around Khelif has been a "joke".

Some reports have taken the IBA statement that Khelif and Lin have XY chromosomes to speculate they might have differences of sexual development (DSD) like runner Caster Semenya.

Arab denied this. Speaking to the BBC's Roan before Saturday's fight he said: "When she arrived at the village she did this test.

"Do you think if she was positive they would let her fight? Never. She did all the tests - even the tests for pregnancy. All the tests were negative.

"[The IBA] said she was positive and her testosterone is very, very high. Then the medical president of the IOC said that it's really normal in boxing that the athletes' testosterone is high. For all the girls it is the same. Imane is not alone in this case.

"The controversy is a joke. Everyone knows that Imane was born a girl. She has fought all her life as a girl. All the competitions she was a girl. When she was losing nobody talked about this."
