The page you link to doesn’t say that. “As of February 2026, Khelif had not described herself as intersex or as having a DSD.”

That page is at the center of a massive debate on Wikipedia for that specific topic.

Khelif responded to a question about having the SRY gene like this:

> In a February 2026 interview with L'Équipe, Khelif was asked: "To be clear, you have a female phenotype but possess the SRY gene, an indicator of masculinity", to which she responded: "Yes, and it’s natural. I have female hormones."

So she was asked if she had the SRY gene and she responded "Yes". That's also consistent with the previous issues with governing bodies excluding her under their rules, but they are not allowed to share test results for obvious reasons.

The debate now is down to technicalities. Technically the Wikipedia quote is correct in that Khelif has not described herself as intersex or having a DSD in those words but she has now admitted to having an SRY gene, which is the important part in the context of these competition rules.

There is a leaked medical report showing that Khelif has internal testes:

The Talk page has extensive debates on whether this can be mentioned, and the current "consensus" is that it can't be.

The article is saying that there are fairly credible denials no?

Just the Algerian government harrumphing. As GP says, Khelif herself has basically admitted to having the SRY gene in interviews, and has been notably tight-lipped about what medical tests caused her to be disqualified from women's boxing in the IBA.

Has Khelif published it? Otherwise, I don't think anyone's very personal information about their body should be on HN (or anywhere). If it doesn't violate a guideline, it should.

They violated the rules. They didnt have to compete.

It’s incorrect to call this a “leaked medical report”. This is a document of unknown origin, widely shared by online grifters.
