A leaked French medical report from 2023 has confirmed that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is male.

Top endocrinologists found that Khelif has XY chromosomes, no uterus, internal testicles, and a "micropenis."

The report was drafted in June of 2023 via a collaboration between the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital in Paris, France, and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine hospital in Algiers, Algeria. Drafted by expert endocrinologists Soumaya Fedala and Jacques Young, the report reveals that Khelif is impacted by 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a disorder of sexual development that is only found in biological males.

Isn’t it fucking ironic that the first City women were allowed to compete in the Olympic Games was Paris in 1900! Well done Paris for fucking us over in 2024!

Women WERE NOT ALLOWED before 1900! Why are MEN now allowed in our category! Beggars belief!

The IOC is committed to gender equality in sport! Oh do fuck off!

It's not the first time. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, there was a race - 800m, I think, can't remember which - where not a single women's medal winner was female (Caster Semenya was one of them).

It’s an absolute disgrace that this ever was allowed to happen!

Every single male athlete who has ever competed in the female category, should hand any medal back to the rightful owner. A full list of these athletes, medals won, and the female who should have won, should be published.

They knew. They still let him compete. They lied. We were told we were wrong and we were nasty so that a man could steal other women's places in competition, and hit women. There's no excuse. Maybe you did grow up in poverty or have a hard life. Immaterial. Not relevant. Facts and fairness are the only relevant things in sports. He should hand back his medals and recuse himself from women's sports. The people who let him in should resign or be sacked.

I agree with this, unfortunately there’s a history of coaches seeking out boys with DSD to train for the women’s Olympics. That’s why there used to be such strict rules around gender tests back in the day.

Why do we need sex testing when the women on here can just tell from watching them walk and the shape of their body?

True.

I'm more than happy to be the boss of the sex testing.

Where do I sign?

Of course he knew. He was in the Algerian army ( as a man).

Was he? I can't find a source for this.

I still don’t agree with the witch hunt. If Khelif reasonably believed themselves to be female and had been brought up as female since birth without knowing about the chromosomal disorder, they were not acting as a man boxing against women. Intent counts here, I think.

If they knew and still competed, that is a different story.

Edited

Because then we wouldn't need to scrutinise their walk and body shape because they wouldn't be there in the first place! Then the women athletes would be competing fairly, they wouldn't lose out on their hard won places, medals and sponsorships. Happy days. I won't hold my breath though.

ZoeZee · 05/11/2024 18:10

Really hope Sebastian Coe sorts this shit out by 2028! Let’s not have a repeat of this years Olympic Games and past games!

Sex testing needs to be up there alongside drugs testing. NO male athlete, should ever be allowed to compete in women’s sports and that includes the Paralympic Games! 😡

Imagine a world where male people simply respected that they were not female people and never attempted to transgress into areas and opportunities that were specifically set up for only female people.

And yet, women who report on this, who discuss this to disseminate or gather information so they can effectively campaign to protect these spaces and opportunities are vilified and demonised. And those doing the vilification and demonisation seem to believe that they are righteous....

It is a real WTAF moment for anyone reading who has not seen the dynamic. But we have seen it very clearly on this thread.

Question is, why do so many people feel good about supporting male people to be prioritised over female people?

How trustworthy is Reduxx?

Considering they were the women who broke the story all the way back in August 2024 and nothing they have reported on this story has ever been even countered by the IOC or Khelif and team, you can draw your own conclusions.

All the IOC and Khelif's team did was emphasise the IOC's regulations and how what was reported didn't change eligibility. Nothing they released was inconsistent to Reduxx's articles.

PotatoLove · 05/11/2024 17:43

Then HE needs to give his medals back. It was obviously a man and yet, they still allowed him to fight women smh.

Feelingathomenow · 05/11/2024 17:37

So basically the IOC is ok with men hitting women in order to placate men. He needs to be stripped of his medals. The IOC needs to change its standards to enable them to identify these cases.

Helleofabore · 05/11/2024 17:30

Wouldn't it be fucking lovely if women around the world didn't have to discuss whether a person is male or female?

How fucking privileged is someone who can snipe from the sidelines on this issue for whatever their motivation while the rest of us have to be the ones to be demonised and vilified?

Because the IOC has chosen to prioritise male people repeatedly since 1999!

Why? Because every athlete deserves to go through a scientifically proven and reliable process to verify their eligibility into a specific sports category and then have the ability to appeal the result.

That requires sex testing.

I'm very much in favour of sex testing.

Everyone will benefit from an objective system with no room for ambiguity.
