Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif has threatened legal action against a journalist who published an unverified, allegedly leaked medical report about her. The report claimed the Algerian boxer “has male characteristics,” despite both Khelif and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) affirming otherwise.
Speaking on the Italian show Lo Stato delle Cose, Khelif told host Massimo Giletti, “I didn’t know the statements of President Meloni, but I saw that many politicians and presidents speak without any real source.
“We will meet with the French journalist in court.”
