World Boxing has introduced a controversial "Sex, Age and Weight" rule requiring female athletes to undergo mandatory sex testing, which specifically targets Algerian gold medalist Imane Khelif. The policy necessitates genetic testing to confirm the presence of XX chromosomes, allowing only intersex individuals who appear as women and do not produce high levels of testosterone. Khelif is barred from competing in the female category until she adheres to these new guidelines. This move follows social media scrutiny and allegations regarding her gender following her Olympic success.
World Boxing's recent policy mandates that female competitors undergo "mandatory sex testing," singling out Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif as needing compliance before competition.
The governing body emphasizes that athletes must possess XX chromosomes and not produce substantial testosterone, raising concerns about fairness and discrimination in women's sports.
