Olympic champion who failed gender test: ‘Musk launched this hate campaign against me’
Algerian Olympic boxing champion Iman Khelif accused American billionaire Elon Musk of launching an information campaign against her.
Khelif, who failed the gender test in 2023, won gold in the up to 66 kg weight category at the 2024 Games in Paris.
“Elon Musk was one of the first to attack me during this hate campaign.
He published this video and it began to spread. You hate me, but you don’t even know me. I don’t even know why you led this attack. You were cruel to me, cruel to my family, cruel to my mother. At that time, my mother went to the hospital every day,” Khelif was quoted as saying by the NY Post, citing CLIQUE.
The International Boxing Association (IBA) suspended Khelif during the 2023 World Championships in India due to failure to meet eligibility criteria. As a result of the gender test, it was proven that the athlete has XY chromosomes.
