ALBAWABA - French outlet revealed on Monday that a leaked medical report claimed Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has "XY chromosomes, internal testicles" and that she allegedly identified as a "man".

Imane Khelif, who won a golden medal at the Olympics 2024 held in France, had earlier filed a harassment complaint after many individuals misgendered her resulting in online bullying.

The 2024 Paris Olympics Gold medalist and Algerian boxer filed a formal legal complaint claiming that she was a victim of "online harassment," as stated by her lawyer.

Leaked medical report claims Imane Khelif has 'XY chromosomes'

The alleged medical report was reportedly accessed by French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia, who posted in Reduxx, allegedly saying that the medical report reads that Khelif has "internal testicles".

In the alleged report, which is said to be drafted by experts from the Kremlin-Bicetre Hospital in Paris and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine Hospital in Algiers in June 2023, Khelif allegedly has "biological traits, such as "internal testicles and the lack of a uterus".

"Even an MRI report suggested the presence of a 'micropenis'," according to Redux report's claims.

The story of Imane Khelif at the Paris Olympics 2024?

Claims about her Imane Khelif being transgender started after she defeated Italian boxer Angela Carini at the Paris Olympics who later apologized for not shaking Khelif's hand and quitting only 46 seconds after the start of the match.  Khelif and her family strongly rejected those claims.

The athlete then got targeted across social media from users and well-known figures alike causing her to cry during an interview and to file a lawsuit against specific individuals who falsely claimed that she's a transgender man.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling were both reportedly named in a cyberbullying lawsuit made against them by the Algerian boxer.

This comes after both individuals and many others including former US President Donald Trump claimed that Imane Khelif is a transgender male competing against women at the Olympics causing a swarm of hateful comments made against her across social media platforms.
