Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has admitted for the first time that she has what she described as “male chromosomes,” and said she is under medical supervision as part of a process to become “a woman.”
The disclosure marks the first public acknowledgment from Khelif on the issue, after weeks of debate around her eligibility and personal status in the sport.
Khelif’s comments, as reported in the original article, were presented as a clear admission that her biological make-up includes male chromosomes, and that doctors are overseeing her case.
The boxer did not provide further detailed medical information in the statement referenced, but the article said the main point revealed is her first-time confirmation of having “male chromosomes” and being followed medically until she becomes “a woman.”
