US EditionJK Rowling Hails Imane Khelif Decision a ‘Win for Women’
- Scottish author J.K. Rowling hailed World Boxing's decision to ban Algerian boxer Imane Khelif from female competition in 2025 as a 'win for women'.
- The ban followed a leaked medical report revealing Khelif's biological male chromosomes, which caused an international scandal with conflicting reactions from the IOC and IBA.
- The International Boxing Association, led by Umar Kremlev, strictly defines womanhood by chromosomes and barred Khelif pending mandatory 'genetic screening,' while the IOC allowed her to compete based on passport gender.

- Khelif’s disqualification and the continuing debate underscore gender policy conflicts in sport, with expectations of athlete apologies and ongoing scrutiny of sex classification rules by World Boxing and the Olympics.
