Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics, was banned from the World Boxing Organization (WBO) because she isn't a woman.

Khelif, a biological female who faced transphobic attacks regarding her physical appearance and gender during last summer's Paris Olympics, was singled out in the organization's announcement.

Khelif was found to have XY chromosomes, according to leaked findings from a 2023 examination conducted by a certified Indian doctor.
