Debate around Olympic champion Imane Khelif's gender has resurfaced after a leaked medical report allegedly revealed she has XY chromosomes and male anatomical traits. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova questioned Khelif’s eligibility in women's boxing, referencing the report and criticizing the International Olympic Committee’s decision to allow her participation. Khelif, the first Algerian woman to win Olympic gold in boxing, defended her identity, saying, “I am a woman like any other woman.” The IOC continues to support her right to compete, condemning any criticism as hate speech. India Today could not confirm the report’s authenticity.
