What a silly excuse for a man or a woman

Olympic boxer Imane Khelif admits to having male genes, but sends message to Trump: 'I'm not trans'

'I am surrounded by doctors, a professor follows me, and I have taken hormonal treatments to lower my testosterone levels.'

Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif has added yet another twist to the story of men competing in women's sports.

After dominating women in the 66kg competition at the Paris Olympics in 2024, Khelif was reported by four different sources to be a male.

'He cannot twist the truth. I'm not trans; I'm a girl. I was raised as a girl.'

Last year, World Athletics announced it would introduce mandatory gene testing for athletes wanting to compete in the women's category, particularly for the SRY gene. That gene is found on the Y chromosome, which only men have.

After more than a year of denying being a male, Khelif has admitted to having the SRY gene, but still claims to be a female. Khelif also maintains an openness to testing.
