Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting face accusations of not being women, challenging their identities in the sports world. The International Boxing Association disqualified both from a championship, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny female athletes face in sports.
The tests by the International Boxing Association, which claimed competitive advantages, were criticized by human rights advocates for violating women's rights, privacy, dignity, health, and non-discrimination. Female athletes from global South countries are often targeted in these controversies, says Payoshni Mitra.
