The notorious Algerian Iman Khelif was invited as a spectator to the Russian women's boxing championship, which is taking place in Serpukhov near Moscow and will end on November 9. “We heard about this story,” quotes the silver medalist of the 2024 European Championship Elena Babicheva Babicheva tass.ru. - We boxed, we invite Khelif to the Russian Championship in Serpukhov. Iman will watch women’s boxing, let’s box and check it out. We are not afraid of anything, we will box with whoever is in the opposite corner. Although the current situation requires a proper investigation.” Let us recall that Khelif was admitted to the 2024 Olympics, where she won the gold medal in the women’s tournament in the weight category up to 66 kg. And recently, French journalist Jaffar Ait Audia published a report on the gender test of the winner of the boxing tournament at Olympic Games in Paris Khelif. As a result of the MRI, it was determined that Khelif had no uterus and the presence of internal testicles. A chromosome test confirmed the Algerian karyotype XY, and a hormonal test recorded the same level of testosterone as in men. By the way, Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 World Championships due to failed gender tests. The IOC's decision to allow the athlete to participate in the 2024 Games caused a wide resonance in the sports community. The International Boxing Association, which conducted gender tests and made the decision on disqualification, noted that the athlete’s blood contains a male and female karyotype. The IOC claims that admission was based on the passport, and gender determination tests were called illegitimate.
