Imane Khelif's Leaked Medical Report Triggers Fresh War, IOC Chief Asked To "Kneel And Apologise"

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is once again in the news. Her 'leaked' medical report, suggesting the presence of ambiguous genitalia and secondary male characteristics has made many suggest that the pugilist is indeed a 'biological male'. A report by French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia stressed that Imane Khelif had internal testicles and an XY chromosome makeup, which hint towards a 5-alpha reductase deficiency. As the report became public, IBA President Umar Kremlev demanded apology from International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach for allowing a 'man' to compete against women in the Paris Olympic Games.

Despite Internal Challenges Within IOA, Commitment To Host 2036 Olympics Remains Steadfast: PT Usha

Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President PT Usha on Tuesday insisted that its commitment to host the 2036 Summer Games "remained steadfast" despite the "internal challenges" her organisation has been facing due to her feud with the Executive Council members.
