Khelif has become a flashpoint for an often misinformed debate about how women are allowed to compete in sports.
As Khelif prepares for her next fight on Saturday, here’s what to know:Who is Imane Khelif?
Algeria's Imane Khelif (R), is seen after defeating Italy's Angela Carini in the women's 66kg preliminary boxing match at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris on Thursday.
Many athletes have written in support of Khelif, including Irish boxer Amy Broadhurst – who fought and beat Khelif in the World Championships.
Female athletes that have differences of sexual development (DSD) are often subject to such tests.
