According to the report, the presence of male genitalia was also confirmed in the MRI scanning conducted. Moreover, it has been found that Khelif has no uterus. Citing these findings, the report stated that Iman was not a woman. The International Boxing Association has banned Iman Khelif from from participating in the 2023 World Championship gold medal fight in Delhi.
Despite many standing against Khelif competing in the women’s category in the Paris Olympics, the boxer participated in the women's 66 kg category and won gold.
