US EditionOlympic boxer Imane Khelif wants to fight – but only in the ring. She’s prepared to take a test to do so
Imane Khelif will submit to genetic testing only if conducted by the International Olympic Committee, aiming to clear her name and compete in the 2028 Olympics after a gender eligibility dispute.
- Imane Khelif said she would accept IOC-conducted genetic testing while pursuing arbitration at the Court of Arbitration for Sport after World Boxing barred her pending sex testing.
- Following last year's policy moves, the IOC considers genetic testing, while major medical associations warn such policies oversimplify biology and risk stigma.
- Khelif says she has naturally high testosterone and has managed it medically before Paris; she denies being a DSD athlete, calling the online report inaccurate and continues therapy for psychological trauma.
- Khelif's case now threatens to shape IOC policy on women's eligibility, as new rules could decide her participation in the Los Angeles 2028 Games and influence future criteria.
- Khelif says political pressure from the far right shaped World Boxing's announcement, calling it discriminatory, while former US President Donald Trump repeatedly cited her victory and called her a `male boxer`.
