Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is prepared to undergo a sex test for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) cleared her to compete in Paris after scrutiny over her gender eligibility. Khelif has stated she has "nothing to hide" and will comply with any testing requirements set by the IOC.

Khelif's eligibility has been questioned since 2023, when she was disqualified from the World Championships. The International Boxing Association (IBA) previously disqualified her, but the IOC has since taken over. The new governing body, World Boxing, introduced mandatory genetic tests, citing Khelif, which led to an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

This situation reflects the ongoing debate surrounding gender and fairness in sports. The tests are designed to ensure fair competition. However, Khelif believes that while protecting women, the rules shouldn't come at the expense of other women. A hearing is pending regarding the mandatory tests.

Ultimately, Khelif seeks to compete. The 26-year-old insists she's a woman and wants to live her life without being exploited. The 2028 Olympics will be a key event, and her participation hinges on the results of the ongoing legal and scientific processes.
