Imane Khelif to Undergo Sex Test for 2028 Olympics

Khelif, a 26-year-old boxer, asserted her identity as a woman and expressed willingness to comply with testing requirements from the IOC for competition participation. She emphasized the need for women’s protection in sports without compromising the rights of others.

A hearing regarding her appeal is still pending.
