The Algerian boxer became one of the Olympic Games' main characters. She won gold in the 66-kilo class, but the big debate was about something entirely different. At the World Championship last year, Khelif was disqualified in a gender test by the International Boxing Federation (Iba). However, the International Olympic Committee believes that the boxing federation's test is not valid, and therefore she was allowed to compete in the Olympic Games. The legitimacy of the gender test has been questioned, among other things, because Iba is a federation with connections to corruption, judging scandals, and Russia.
After that, strong reactions have emerged regarding Khelif's participation in the Olympic Games in Paris. Something she herself has commented on.
I'm sending a message to all people in the world to uphold the Olympic principles and the Olympic rules – stop bullying athletes. It has effects, big effects, she said according to AP.
In the complaint filed, well-known individuals such as entrepreneur and X-owner Elon Musk and author JK Rowling are mentioned. This is confirmed by Khelif's lawyer Nabil Boudi for Variety.
The American presidential candidate Donald Trump will also be part of the investigation.
Trump tweeted, so regardless of whether he is mentioned in our complaint or not, he will inevitably be investigated as part of the prosecution, says Boudi.
