We were right, all along. They lied.
Good Oil readers, it’s just as I told you last August: boxer Imane Khelif is a man. In fact, I even nailed the exact reason: a condition called 5-ARD.
The mainstream media lied and now we know it for sure:
A shocking new development has emerged in the case of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif after a French journalist reportedly gained access to a damning medical report revealing Khelif has “testicles.” The news comes months after Khelif seized a gold medal in women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics.
The report was drafted in June of 2023 via a collaboration between the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital in Paris, France, and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine hospital in Algiers, Algeria. Drafted by expert endocrinologists Soumaya Fedala and Jacques Young, the report reveals that Khelif is impacted by 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a disorder of sexual development that is only found in biological males.
Now, I must clarify that I’m not any kind of gun medical specialist. I’m just a journalist who refuses to subscribe to the groupthink, and instead follow the clues with an open mind. In this case, the clues led to a National Library of Medicine report on 5-ARD.
It’s a condition in which genetic males can appear, at birth and infancy, to the untrained eye as ‘female’. But they are indeed male, and become more obviously so as they reach puberty. It’s a rather cruel condition, really: imagine being brought up as a girl, only to suddenly turn into a boy at puberty. Worse, a boy with stunted genitalia.
Turns out, we called it.
At the end of October, French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia obtained a copy of a thorough physical examination that was conducted on Khelif in order to verify the presence of a disorder of sexual development.
According to Aoudia, the clinical report reveals that an MRI determined that Khelif had no uterus, but instead had internal testicles and a “micropenis” resembling an enlarged clitoris. A chromosomal test further confirmed that Khelif has an XY karyotype, while a hormone test found that Khelif had a testosterone level typical of males. Aoudia also noted that doctors suggested Khelif’s parents may have been blood relatives.
However tragic the condition is, though, it doesn’t give these men excuse to masquerade as, and beat the living daylights out of, women.
Nor is it an excuse for sports officials who knew perfectly well what they were allowing.
The International Olympic Committee has not submitted athletes to chromosomal testing since 1999 and, at the Paris Olympics, the only requirement to participate in women’s boxing was to have a female sex marker on legal documents.
Further confirmation of the boxers’ karyotype was given by Alan Abrahamson, an associate professor at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, who is a specialist in Olympic sports and member of the International Olympic Committee’s press committee. In an August statement, Abrahamson said that he had personally viewed the results of the hotly-contested chromosomal tests ordered by the IBA in 2022 and 2023 which “concluded the boxer’s DNA was that of a male consisting of XY chromosomes.”
But, sure, we were just bigots for noticing the obvious.
