Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Has XY Chromosomes And “Testicles” : French-Algerian Medical Report Admits

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


A shocking new development has emerged in the case of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif after a French journalist reportedly gained access to a damning medical report revealing Khelif has “testicles.” The news comes months after Khelif seized a gold medal in women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics.

The report was drafted in June of 2023 via a collaboration between the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital in Paris, France, and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine hospital in Algiers, Algeria. Drafted by expert endocrinologists Soumaya Fedala and Jacques Young, the report reveals that Khelif is impacted by   5-alpha reductase deficiency , a disorder of sexual development that is only found in biological males.

The genetic abnormality   influences the normal development of a child’s sexual organs . At birth, male babies impacted by 5-alpha are often incorrectly assigned female due to the presence of deformed genitalia that sometimes takes on the appearance of a “blind vaginal pouch.”


This disordered development typically becomes apparent by puberty, when 5-alpha adolescents begin to experience signs of masculinization such as muscle growth, hair growth, and an absence of breast tissue development or menstruation. Without access to a proper clinical examination, males with 5-alpha may incorrectly believe they are female into adulthood.

At the end of October,   French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia   obtained a copy of a thorough physical examination that was conducted on Khelif in order to verify the presence of a disorder of sexual development.

According to Aoudia, the clinical report reveals that an MRI determined that Khelif had no uterus, but instead had internal testicles and a “micropenis” resembling an enlarged clitoris. A chromosomal test further confirmed that Khelif has an XY karyotype, while a hormone test found that Khelif had a testosterone level typical of males. Aoudia also noted that doctors suggested Khelif’s parents may have been blood relatives.

The report concludes by recommending Khelif be referred for “surgical correction and hormone therapy,” to help him physically align with his self-perceived gender identity, and adds that psychological support would be required because the results had caused a “very significant neuropsychiatric impact.”

This report coincides with an earlier admission by Khelif’s coach, Georges Cazorla, that the Algerian boxer had been subjected to an assessment at the Kremlin-Bicêtre Hospital after being disqualified from women’s boxing by the International Boxing Association (IBA) in March of 2023.


In an interview from August , Cazorla tepidly conceded that the endocrinologists had determined there was a “problem with [Khelif’s] chromosomes” at the time. Despite this fact, Cazorla insisted that Khelif should still be allowed to compete against females.

Cazorla also stated that Khelif was placed on testosterone suppressants following the 2023 medical assessment. However, the International Olympic Committee has not submitted athletes to chromosomal testing since 1999 and, at the Paris Olympics,   the only requirement to participate in women’s boxing was to have a female sex marker on legal documents .

Further confirmation of the boxers’ karyotype was given by  Alan Abrahamson,  an  associate professor at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism , who is a specialist in Olympic sports and member of the International Olympic Committee’s press committee. In an August statement, Abrahamson said that he had personally viewed the results of the hotly-contested chromosomal tests ordered by the IBA in 2022 and 2023 which “concluded the boxer’s DNA was that of a male consisting of XY chromosomes.”

The news of Khelif’s leaked medical report comes after he won gold at the Paris Olympics in the women’s 66kg category.




In collaboration with the Independent Council on Women’s Sport (ICONS),   Reduxx   was the first outlet to break the news   of Khelif’s participation in women’s boxing at Paris, raising alarm bells due to his previous disqualification from women’s boxing by the IBA. The news sparked a firestorm of controversy, with the IBA coming out in opposition to the IOC’s decision to allow biological males to box against women in Paris.

During a press conference in August,   the IBA repeatedly confirmed that Khelif had failed multiple chromosomal tests , but was unable to release barred from releasing the results of those tests by the Algerian Olympic Committee.




Yesterday, the International Boxing Association held a press conference addressing the concerns surrounding Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting.

Speaking to   Reduxx   on this latest revelation,   ICONS co-founder   Marshi Smith slammed the IOC and the Algerian Olympic Committee for allowing Khelif to continue his journey to Paris gold despite being fully aware he was genetically male.

“The IOC and the Algerian Olympic Committee are complicit in endorsing male violence against women under the guise of public entertainment on the world’s largest sports stage,” Smith said. “They stood by as women were subjected to physical assault for spectacle, stripped of safety, fairness, and their lifetime achievements. All those involved must face swift and serious consequences.”

Smith adds that she believes Khelif should be stripped of his gold medal, but doubts any action will be taken to rectify the injustice.

“We urge leaders in sports and governments worldwide to condemn the IOC and demand a public commitment to ensuring fair and safe sports for women from this day forward. This must never be allowed to happen again.”

From "conspiracy" to proven fact yet again.

One can only feel bad for the women who lost their likely once in a lifetime chance to win a gold medal and got punched by a man to a boot.

What "conspiracy"?

"At birth, male babies impacted by 5-alpha are often incorrectly assigned female due to the presence of deformed genitalia that sometimes takes on the appearance of a “blind vaginal pouch.”

"Without access to a proper clinical examination, males with 5-alpha may incorrectly believe they are female into adulthood."

"the clinical report reveals that an MRI determined that Khelif had no uterus, but instead had internal testicles and a “micropenis” resembling an enlarged clitoris."

No where in the article does it claim, let alone prove, that this person even knew they weren't female before this testing was done. So where is the "conspiracy"? Sounds just like more rightwing conservative intolerance.

You missed the whole thing about him being a woman? It was a big story.

Do you think the results of the test were hidden from him?

unds just like more rightwing conservative intolerance.

Yes, I'm intolerant towards men punching women.[]

Comments about calling him a man:

You guys can keep perpetuating the lie,

These two were simply winning when they weren't supposed to according to the bettors. That and banning them based on homophobia 

You all have great gobs of egg on your face

Dozens of comments displaying willful ignorance and dishonesty in support of bigotry and hate.

are you a Russian sympathizer?

The only thing more shameful is the women from Italy and Bulgaria who bought into the lies and claimed foul when they lost

the reporting I have seen overwhelmingly indicates that Khelif is a biological female

They're biological women. The case is closed. Quit digging.

The really bad sad part is that so many who claimed to support women's athletes and women's athletics fell for this fake story

he hatred and misinformation continued today 

Ignorant, hateful people with zero proof of evidence

They don't care, they are proud to hang around and double down

Certainly seems to be a gray area.   One report suggests that Khelif does not have a uterus.   At this point I am skeptical that we have the full story.

That established, it seems to me that if Khelif has internal testes and a micro penis yet does not have a uterus and ovaries that the sex determination would be predominantly male.   Although the presence of XY chromosomes is not a defining characteristic, it adds to the argument that Khelif is predominantly male.

The question now is what will be the defining characteristics of a male when it comes to sports.   If the reports here are true, I would not deem Khelif eligible for female sports.

No, it's clear cut. He's an XY with male sex organs, small though they may be. He's  100% a man and it was a crime to let him punch women.

Anyone with a Y Chromosome has to compete against men. Women's sports are for those without Y chromosomes.

It is obvious that this is a gray area. 

He's  100% a man ...

Oh yeah, internal testes and a micro penis ... quite the man.   I do not think your strict binary criteria will prevail; biology is not so clear cut.

Now, since you seem to have missed this:

TiG@1.2If the reports here are true, I would not deem Khelif eligible for female sports.

Then we agree it's not a gray area.

No, Sean, we agree that in this case, if the reports are true, that Khelif should not be eligible for female sports.
