Imane Khelif ruled ineligible for IBA World Championship despite Olympic participation

marca.com — February 8, 2025, 09:01 PM UTC

Imane Khelif will not compete in the upcoming IBA World Championship in Serbia, despite previously participating in the Olympics. The IBA stated she does not meet their eligibility criteria. Khelif was previously barred from the 2023 World Championships due to gender eligibility tests. The International Olympic Committee allowed her to compete in the Olympics, dismissing the IBA's tests as flawed. Khelif's case involves her being classified as hyperandrogenic. Reports suggest she has a condition affecting sexual development, which complicates her eligibility in women's boxing events.
