Leaked medical report confirms boxer Imane Khalif to be male, Harbhajan Singh reacts

Algerian boxer Imane Khalif has been in the news throughout the campaign for the Paris Olympics 2024. Khalif, labeled by many as a biological male, won the gold medal in the women's 66 kg category, despite many questioning her eligibility to compete. Months after the conclusion of the Paris Games, a new controversy arose after a leaked medical report confirmed that Khalifa was indeed a man. Even former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh reacted to the report by tagging Olympics on social media and asking them to take back the gold medal given to the Algerian.

According to the leaked medal report, which French journalist Jafar Ait Oudia was able to secure, the Algerian boxer has undescended testicles and XY chromosomes. According to reports, this condition indicates a disorder called 5-alpha reductase insufficiency.

The report was said to have been prepared in June 2023 by experts from the Kremlin-Bicêtre Hospital in Paris and the Mohammed Lamine Debaghin Hospital in Algiers. In the detailed report, the biological characteristics of the Caliph, such as the existence of internal testicles and the lack of a uterus, are described in detail. Even an MRI report suggested the presence of a micropenis, as reported by Redux.

Do you remember the guy who won the Olympic gold medal in women's boxing?

His medical report reveals that he has XY chromosomes, male testosterone levels, testicles and a micropenis.

But it never mattered—she believes words and emotions make you a woman, not biology.https://t.co/Ip8KLvEt6S

In 2023, Khalif was banned by the International Boxing Association (IBA) from participating in the World Championship gold medal fight in New Delhi.

In fact, US presidential candidate Donald Trump even used Khalife's example in an ad campaign criticizing the Biden-Harris administration's gender-biased sports policy, in hopes of turning the controversy into an election issue to make his case. Will get help.
