The Algerian boxer has denied rumors that he is transgender

Iman Khelif commented on winning Olympic gold, saying that she has always been a woman.

Iman Khelif is not transgender, but she has always been a woman. This is what the most Algerian boxer said after receiving a gold medal at the Olympics in Paris.

According to him, all the rumors about his gender change from male were spread by haters who were jealous of his success.

“Whether I will be tested or not, whether I am a woman or not, I have made many statements in the media. I’m fully qualified to participate in this tournament.

I am a woman like any other woman. I was born a woman, lived like a woman, competed like a woman. There is no doubt about it.

There are enemies, enemies of luck. That’s what I call them. These are the enemies of success. And it also gives my victory a special flavor because of these attacks.

First of all, the Olympics is a dream, it is the dream of every athlete. Here in Paris, thank God, the whole world, the Arab world, the Algerians, they all know how much I worked.

I think now the whole world knows the story of Iman Khelif. I am from a very small village, from a very small family. I was born and raised in a poor area. But my family is always proud of me, they always support me in this sport.

I want to tell the whole world that they should follow the Olympic principles and avoid bullying. They should not bully people. This is the message of the Olympics. Olympic values ​​are very important and I hope people stop bullying.

Let’s hope we don’t see similar attacks in the upcoming Olympics.

The attacks I have experienced on social media are absolutely terrible, they are senseless and they destroy people’s dignity,” said Khelif as quoted by Sky Sports.

We remind you that the criticism of Iman Khelif began after the 1/8 finals of the Olympics against the Italian Angela Carini. This fight lasted only 46 seconds, the Algerian representative inflicted several heavy blows on his opponent and eventually broke his nose. As a result, the Italian refused to continue the fight, calling it “unfair.”

Before this, in 2023, Khalif, as well as Taiwanese boxer Lin Yuting, were disqualified from the World Boss Championship due to a failed gender test, which revealed a large excess of testosterone. But the IOC did not consider this and allowed the athletes to participate in the Olympics, citing unclear biochemical testing standards.

Earlier, Iman Khelif asked the haters to stop harassing him.
