Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer who clinched gold in women's boxing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is at the center of a gender identity controversy. A leaked medical report obtained by French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia indicates that Khelif has 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a condition that impacts sexual development in biological males. The report states that Khelif was born with internal testicles and XY chromosomes, has no uterus, and has a micropenis.
