Khelif speaks in this video at around 11 mins. Seems to have an indeterminate pitch of voice as to sounding male or female.
What a stupid comment. What idiot posted this? Oops, er, me.
Have since discovered that the International Boxing Association may not be reliable.
...The IOC last year stripped the IBA of its status as boxing's governing body over governance and finance issues, taking charge of the Paris Games boxing competition and applying eligibility rules from the 2016 and the 2021 Olympics....
And have also since watched this thought-provoking short film. Apparently some women can be masculine in appearance/demeanour - sometimes to the extent that they're mistaken for men - but still be women.

We were reminded of France's roll in world history - and of their heroes and heroines. And were entertained under the fabulous skyline. Better than a walk around a track.
There were a bunch of wimps during the war.

Last year, Khelif was disqualified from the women’s World Championships in New Delhi for failing a gender eligibility test. At the same tournament, Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting was also disqualified for failing to meet the gender eligibility criteria of the International Boxing Association (IBA). Lin is due to compete at the Olympics on Friday (2 August).
