Really a man? New fuss about boxer Khelif
It was probably one of the most exciting stories of the summer Olympics: Is she a SHE or is she a HE? Is Imane Khelif, who won gold in women's boxing, really a woman or is she a man? Even though this question did not arise for the International Olympic Committee, as they are satisfied with the gender stated in the passport for admission to the Olympics, it was the subject of heated debate.

According to a report by "Le Correspondant" reporter Djaffar Ait Aoudia, doctors at the Kremlin-Bicètre Hospital in Paris and the Mohamed-Lamine-Debaghine Hospital in Algiers (Algeria) appear to show that Khelif has neither ovaries nor a uterus - but does have internal testicles, a penis-like clitoris and a deformed vagina.
"Alpha-5-reductase type 2 deficiency"
The lead experts Jacques Young and Soumaya Fedala refer to an "alpha-5-reductase type 2 deficiency" in Khelif, which was already discussed in August and leads to a metabolic disorder in testosterone, among other things.

Female athlete from Algeria officially admitted to the Olympics
Does the IOC intend to change anything about the medal decisions in Paris in view of the new turmoil surrounding Khelif?

However, she had previously been allowed to take part in various women's boxing competitions for many years, including the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
