What do you think of Imane's athletic career so far?

[plyswrb]

Looks like all the woke people who claimed he was a she have gone back to sleep 😂
Now all the women who were beat up by this man need to be compensated and anyone who lost their job for calling him out need to be compensated

[clubbedsandwich]

I'm sure y'all are going to release an updated view given the recent news, right? .... RIGHT?! lol

[fisaor]

Cheater!! Imane is not Olympic medalist. He is just dirty cheater!!!

[latte]

Omg he is a man. Why does he try to fight women?

[prasadchavan]

He is man....not women...he stole medal from women....

[zedlopez]

Still cheating isn’t the proper way out of poverty, , dont twist people mind

[josephwilson]

The same people claiming to be Christian are now bullying her and didn't even look up her record. She only has 6kos in over 50 fights. She is not a puncher but a technical fighter. That Italian fighter that spewed nonsense out about how it was the hardest she was ever hit is nuts. I have Italian blood but there's no way that a fighter that only has 6KO's is punching as hard as she is claiming. I think Khelif just landed some great punches because the Italian Fighter let up her guard and allegedly broke her nose. Any fighter can break a fighters nose. Ridiculous for the Italian fighter to have quit over that. Most fighters would not quit from an alleged broken nose. Again, this is a biological Woman.

[criticaloptimist]

Deeply ironic that she got into boxing after fighting off bullies that thought she shouldn’t play soccer… and idk how that Italian boxer got as far as she did with like no muscles.

[kevinslaney]

is anyone here actually going to deny that this woman has no physical female traits? Her body shape is completely that of a young man. Her muscle mass, leg and arm shape, everything. I have no idea of the truth of her situation but there is no denying the physical appearance. Just stating this fact

> The IBA never said what kind of test it was, just that it wasn't a testosterone test, nor did they explain the results, citing privacy. In an interview with Russian state-owned media, the Russian president of the IBA said that they did a DNA test and found that Khelif had XY chromosomes, but again...look at the source, the audience, the track record of corruption, the timing...


 > Plus, they did this test in 2022 and didn't have any issue with the results? They used the 2022 test as part of their basis for disqualifying her - even though they allowed her to compete in 2023, up until she beat a Russian athlete.


 > So there's no evidence that she has higher testosterone. She competed in the 2020 Olympics without incident, even when other female athletes with high testosterone were withdrawn. And the IBA didn't administer a testosterone test.


 > There's also no other information, testing, questions, or anything that she has talked about that would allude to any sort of chromosomal or hormonal difference. She identifies as a woman and always has.

I’m was a fighter for 5 years and I’ve been a camera man filming fights for the last 30 years xx xy what ever that’s a man’s body I don’t care what anyone says and that’s just wrong I pray the female fighters don’t get injured he will win the gold and that’s so unfair

[MarkTrentham-th]

The cheat that got away with it - wonder when the books coming out ?.

[Skipper.]

High testosterone levels and xy chromosomes was enough for the IBA to say that it’s a him. Keep in mind there’s also a boxer from Taiwan boxing in these Olympics that’s a transgender too and was also banned by the IBA for the same reasons.

[Ronaldo_]

if Imane goes to compete with men, nobody will complain

[yolomcswaggens]

Have you intentionally failed to mention that the head of IBA commented that Khelif and Lin Yu-ting were found to have XY chromosomes before 2023 WC?

[LuzSiKio]

This is a situation on being intersex with XY chromosomes.
Only 0.018% of the population of all of humanity is intersex/has a form of AIS.

This is extremely rare and saying the differences between male and female do not exist because of this is a complete abuse of logic and intellect.

In extremely rare situations like this in sports, in order to make it fare, one has to determine if the person is more male or more female. If the person has xy chromosomes, testes and went through puberty with the same testosterone as men, and still has testosterone levels equivalent to men.

Then all reason deduces that the person needs to compete with males.

[EndThe-zs]

We don't want to hear her childhood story. Let the authority get a legit test to proof whther she is really born a girl or boy..

[linkelly]

I totally understand the need to escape poverty..
However in this day and age I have to ask why a so called sport is all about punching people in the head... Such an insult to those suffering from an irreversible A B I (acquired brain injury)

[hareramv]

Nothing about why this person was banned
