from what I’ve read, the russian IBA tested her for testosterone levels, not chromosomes, and then claimed she had XY without releasing any evidence. Not that it really matters anyways.

As per Wikipedia:

Following Khelif’s victory over Italy’s Angela Carini during the 2024 Olympic Games, rumours surfaced on social media about her gender. These were fuelled by Khelif’s disqualification from the 2023 Women’s World Boxing Championships organised by the Russian-led International Boxing Association (IBA) for unspecified reasons. There is no evidence that Khelif has XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone.[2] The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its Paris Boxing Unit stated Khelif was eligible to compete in the Olympics, and criticized the IBA’s previous disqualification.[3]
