Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics, was banned from the World Boxing Organization (WBO) because she isn't a woman.

Imane Khelif, whose gold medal at last year’s Paris Olympics caused a global scandal, has been banned from competing in all future World Boxing events in the women’s category unless the Algerian can provide proof of being biologically female.

Algerian Olympian Imane Khelif has been handed an indefinite ban less than a year after claiming gold in Paris.
