Speaking in Paris, Khelif said she has nothing to hide, telling CNN that she would accept genetic testing requirements – but only if conducted by the IOC.
“Of course, I would accept doing anything I’m required to do to participate in competitions,” she said, underlining that she respects the IOC and its authority.
“They should protect women, but they need to pay attention that while protecting women, they shouldn’t hurt other women,” she added.
It’s the first time Khelif has publicly addressed whether she would take such a test since last year’s move by the sport’s international amateur governing body to introduce mandatory genetic testing for all boxers over the age of 18, saying it would “ensure the safety of all participants and deliver a competitive level playing field for men and women.”

Khelif has never said she is a DSD athlete.
She does have naturally high testosterone levels, which she said she has been reducing under medical supervision since well before the Paris Olympics, rejecting claims that her hormones have determined her success in boxing.
“I was born like this. Of course, I have hormonal differences. But I decrease my testosterone levels based on my doctor’s recommendations,” Khelif said.
“Boxing does not rely on the level of testosterone. Boxing relies on intelligence, on experience and on discipline,” she added.
So... Khelif will do a sex test. OK. So, does that mean that for the next couple of years until the Olympics, this male athlete will trade on that and then retire before the next Olympics? He is now 26.
