In a developing story that has Olympic circles buzzing, transgender boxer Iman Khalifa has officially been reclassified as male following extensive testing.
Sources reveal that the reclassification stems from tests conducted prior to the 2023 New Delhi World Championships. These tests were a direct response to the World Boxing Organization’s (WBO) request for a gender verification process for Khalifa.
Adding further intrigue, intelligence suggests that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was alerted to concerns regarding Khalifa’s biological status – specifically the presence of “male” DNA – a year before the 2024 Paris Olympics. The IOC was reportedly informed of the New Delhi World Championship results, where Khalifa was disqualified due to the findings. Despite this, the IOC seemingly pressed forward, allowing Khalifa to compete in the women’s boxing events.
According to a 3Wire Sports report, the test results were summarized as “abnormal,” providing definitive evidence that Khalifa’s chromosomal analysis revealed an XY profile – indicative of a male.
The findings, confirmed by the prestigious Lal Path Labs in New Delhi and validated by the College of American Pathologists and Swiss ISO certification, directly challenge statements made by IOC spokesperson Mark Adams. At the Paris Olympics, Adams dismissed the test results as “provisional” and “invalid.”
While the IOC has yet to issue an official statement, the WBO has taken a decisive stance. The organization has ruled that Khalifa must undergo the same chromosomal analysis before competing in further events, otherwise she will be “unable to participate in any future competitions as a female.”
At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Khalifa’s dominant performance culminated in her winning the women’s boxing title. She secured victory in her opening match against Italian rising star Angela, in under 30 seconds. Angela later revealed that she was acutely aware of her opponent’s significant physical advantages during the match, and felt compelled to withdraw for her own safety.
