Imane Khelif secured a Paris 2024 Semi-Final berth and a guaranteed medal as the IOC dismissed the previous testing undertaken in 2023. Khelif defeated Hungary’s Luca Anna Hamori 5-0 in the Quarter-Final as the Algerian grabbed at least a bronze after a turbulent time. A cloud was placed on Khelif, who was born a female, for having DSD [Differences in sex development], a disorder that hasn’t yet been incorporated into Olympic standards for competition. This scenario led to a furor surrounding the welterweight, who was suspended by the now unrecognized IBA [formerly AIBA] for failing unspecified tests that were never under the jurisdiction of any other governing body.
