By already disqualified IBA which was disqualified for corruption and pro Russia slant.
They claim they have evidence, but never provide it, they disqualified her after she beat a Russian boxer. Why didn’t they disqualify her earlier fight after she won against the Nigerian (IIRC) boxer.
She was suspended for naturally high testosterone levels by the IBA, a governing body that has since itself been suspended and had it’s recognition revoked due to corruption scandals. (Imagine what it takes for the famously corrupt IOC to say, “No, that’s too corrupt.”) No matter how you want to define gender, biological sex, identity, etc., she’s a woman. She’s just a freak athlete and that’s what the Olympics are about. No one would be all up in arms if her hands had a naturally high score on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. You’d put on your gloves and catch her topaz-hard hands.
she wasn’t even disqualified for having high T. they disqualified her first and then did tests and later announced that she supposedly had XY chromosomes, which I don’t believe. I recommend reading through these sources and watching the official statement from the IOC spokesperson (time code added so you don’t have to watch the whole video):
I personally believe that IBA was butthurt about her beating a Russian boxer or got bribed into disqualifying her, and then made up the gender test bullshit to justify it. now the transphobes used this opportunity to pretend to care about women’s sports and attack trans people, even though imane khelif is definitely 100% not trans:
EDIT: the livestream i linked to was taken down. i looked on their youtube channel and theres a video with only the relevant part. you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/D4HiUIX9o00?si=UWz3uqCDXBhg98cI
Thank you for the correction and extra info. It’s a ridiculous moral panic at any time but it’s even more ridiculous at an Olympics where no one is trans, everyone is a genetic outlier, and someone is actually doping.

Imane Khelif was disqualified for not meeting gender criteria from world championship.
Edit to all: I am not against LGBT+ or anything. I just post news, take what you want.

Not to mention 9 fights she lost to other women.
Publishing the evidence would violate the athlete’s privacy.
AFAIK the athlete never got any results either.
What evidence do you want to see? A full report on her hormone levels? A photo of her genitals?
she did not get disqualified due to testosterone levels, see my other comment
