I think the Olympic folks just hope this will go away.
The Olympic boxer who was allowed to remain in the women’s category and wiped the floor with his opponents has once again been proven to be a dude. Yep, XY chromosomes. Just like the other boxing league said he had.
The Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) released a statement addressing Khelif’s admission.
“Algerian Olympic women’s gold medalist Imane Khelif has now confirmed he is male. With men no longer eligible for Olympic women’s boxing under World Boxing rules, Khelif reportedly plans to box professionally in Europe, though he inexplicably says he will still undergo sex screening for the LA 2028 Games in hopes of competing,” the statement said. —FoxNews,
I doubt they will do anything, but fairness says that his Gold medal needs to be revoked and any prize money sent to the silver medalist (and down the line).
He’s tested as a dude twice. Don’t know what a third time will do or what league he’s going to box in in Europe.
Madness.
