Imane Khelif is a boxer primarily known for representing her country, Algeria, in the Summer Games. She received a huge online backlash after her 2024 Paris Olympic fight with Italian fighter Angela Carini. Khelif won as the result of Angela quitting the match just 46 seconds after it began. She claimed that Imane Khelif is a biological man and that the punches she took from her were the hardest in her entire boxing career. However, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) defended Khelif, confirming that she is a female according to his passport and that she passed all eligibility and medical regulations for the event.
In November 2024, French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia published a report on the Reduxx platform that confirms Imane is a biological male and has internal male organs. The reports also include Imane suffering from 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a development disorder found in genetic males. Allegedly these medical reports were drafted in June 2023 in association with Kremlin-Bicētre Hospital in Paris and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine Hospital in Algeria. These reports included an MRI scan that showed Imane lacked a uterus and had male organs.
