Gender test imposed, medal winner excluded from Paris 2024 Olympic Games
Imane Khelif

Imane Khelif, the Algerian gold medalist in the 66kg category at the Paris Olympics, has been banned from participating in future women's boxing events until she passes a gender identification test.

This decision came after an announcement from World Boxing, which is implementing a new policy to ensure safety and equality in competitions for men and women.

New Gender Testing Policy: Part of Safety and Equality Measures

Mandatory gender identification testing is a new measure that will be applied to all athletes wishing to participate in World Boxing competitions. The policy aims to create a level playing field and ensure the well-being of all participants, including Imane Khelif, who has been banned from the Eindhoven Boxing Cup and other World Boxing events until she passes the test.

Genetic Testing and the Consequences for Transgender Athletes

Under the new policy, all athletes over the age of 18 will undergo a genetic test, which will be carried out using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). This test will detect genetic material that indicates the presence of the Y chromosome, which is an indicator of biological sex. The measure was developed following concerns about the benefits that changing gender identity could bring in sports competitions.

Imane Khelif, who won the gold medal in Paris 2024, had previously expressed her desire to defend her title at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, but this decision could affect her chances of competing as a woman in the future.
