Gender row boxer Imane Khelif is taking action against the report that labeled her as a biological male in their findings.
According to reports from local media outlets, the findings arose amid discussions between endocrinologists in France and her home country of Algeria.
That’s where it was determined that the boxer did indeed have some male characteristics as the suggested findings. The leaking of this report has brought the Algerian doctor under fire who has now broken his silence on the matter.
He says that it’s not fair to be treated in the manner in which he is because a lot of misinformation surrounds his name. He says that he never called the athlete a male and neither does he feel that she should never have been allowed to compete as a female.
He also mentioned that it’s bizarre how one statement of his regarding the star’s male characteristics was twisted to confirm that she was born male.
Therefore, he hopes to take anyone dragging his name in the dirt to court and also reassured the world to stop making false allegations based on what’s presented in the press.
The doctor praised Imane for putting up a tough fight despite all the odds against her and also hoped that this rough period would pass because she’d worked so hard to reach this point in her career.
