How Olympic boxer Imane Khelif’s performance embroiled arguments about gender in sport

New York Times  

The contentious topic of gender in sport has made its way into a debate about how boxing is run at the Olympics, turning a murky administrative fight into the latest stage for combative arguments about how women should be allowed to compete. However, they were disqualified from the 2023 World Championships because the governing body for the event, the International Boxing Association, said the women had failed a test given late in the tournament that it said showed the boxers had “competitive advantages over other female competitors.” The International Olympic Committee said Thursday that the world championships were mishandled and that there was no doubt that the athletes, who also competed at the Tokyo Games, were women and should be allowed to compete. “This test conclusively indicated that both athletes did not meet the required necessary eligibility criteria and were found to have competitive advantages over other female competitors.” The IOC on Thursday criticized the IBA’s handling of the tournament and said Khelif and Lin were not given any due process. And we fully support that.” Broadhurst, the last competitor to defeat Khelif, said Thursday she doesn’t think Khelif “has done anything to ‘cheat.’” Have a lot of people texting me over Imane Khelif. — Amy Broadhurst July 31, 2024 On Wednesday, the Algerian Olympic Committee condemned the commentary around Khelif’s gender as “lies” in a statement to The Associated Press.
