The page you link to doesn’t say that. “As of February 2026, Khelif had not described herself as intersex or as having a DSD.”

- space_fountain 6mo agoThe article is saying that there are fairly credible denials no?

- decimalenough 6mo agoJust the Algerian government harrumphing. As GP says, Khelif herself has basically admitted to having the SRY gene in interviews, and has been notably tight-lipped about what medical tests caused her to be disqualified from women's boxing in the IBA.
- blks 6mo agoIt’s incorrect to call this a “leaked medical report”. This is a document of unknown origin, widely shared by online grifters.
- mmooss 6mo agoHas Khelif published it? Otherwise, I don't think anyone's very personal information about their body should be on HN (or anywhere). If it doesn't violate a guideline, it should.
- Jerrrrrrrry 6mo agoThey violated the rules. They didnt have to compete.
- mmooss 6mo agoWhat does that have to do with the GP?
- Jerrrrrrrry 6mo agoContestant being invalidated would already innately make the reason for invalidation one for public consideration.
- Aurornis 6mo agoThat page is at the center of a massive debate on Wikipedia for that specific topic. Khelif responded to a question about having the SRY gene like this: > In a February 2026 interview with L'Équipe, Khelif was asked: "To be clear, you have a female phenotype but possess the SRY gene, an indicator of masculinity", to which she responded: "Yes, and it’s natural. I have female hormones." So she was asked if she had the SRY gene and she responded "Yes". That's also consistent with the previous issues with governing bodies excluding her under their rules, but they are not allowed to share test results for obvious reasons. The debate now is down to technicalities. Technically the Wikipedia quote is correct in that Khelif has not described herself as intersex or having a DSD in those words but she has now admitted to having an SRY gene, which is the important part in the context of these competition rules.
