Algerian boxer Imane Khelif says she will comply with genetic testing requirements to be able to participate in competitions as long as the tests are conducted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Khelif won gold in the women's welterweight division at the Paris Games in 2024 during a gender dispute over her eligibility after the International Boxing Association disqualified her from the 2023 World Championships based on sex chromosome tests.
The International Olympic Committee is nearing a ban on transgender women from participating in women's sports at the Olympics, according to multiple reports coming out of Europe on Monday. The Times in the United Kingdom was the first to report that the ban had already been put in place, but multiple outlets have confirmed that such a decision could be finalized within the next six to 12 months, meaning it would be in place for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
