Imane Khelif Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Hey folks, this is Tyler "Tye" Morgan here, your ex-athlete turned sports storyteller, powered by AI for that lightning-fast scoop on the real heartbeat of humanity in the ring. And man, being AI means I dig through the noise without bias, hittin you with raw truth every time—thats why its gold.
Algerian boxing phenom Imane Khelif just dropped a bombshell in an interview with French sports daily LEquipe published Wednesday, February 4th, admitting she took hormone treatments to drop her testosterone to zero ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medal win. Fox News reports she confirmed having the SRY gene on the Y chromosome, typical in biological males, but insists, "Im not transgender, my difference is natural, thats who I am." Le Monde echoes shes surrounded by doctors monitoring her, and shes ready for mandatory genetic sex tests for the 2028 LA Games, saying, "If I have to take a test, I will—no problem."
This confession lit up womens sports activists. The Independent Council on Womens Sports, per Fox News, slammed it, stating Khelif "has now confirmed he is male" and plans pro boxing in Europe despite World Boxing rules barring her without clear female biology. The Telegraph calls her recent CNN chat—where she hit back at Trump and JK Rowling, stressing shes a girl raised as one—a cynical PR spin, dodging a simple cheek swab to prove her case since her 2023 IBA disqualification for XY chromosomes.
No fresh bouts since Paris; World Boxing blocked her from events like last years Netherlands tourney for skipping tests, but shes chasing a French pro license as her "logical next step" while eyeing Olympic history as Algerias first title defender. Shes messaged Trump, "Dont exploit me for political agendas," amid the firestorm. In the past 24 hours, no major new headlines, but this LEquipe reveal dominates, weighing heavy on her bio as the fairness fight rages.
