Boxer Imane Khelif lodges complaint against the Tunisian Boxing Association (TAS)
In a recent turn of events, Algerian Olympic champion Imane Khelif has found herself embroiled in a controversy surrounding her boxing career and her former manager, Nasser Yesfah.
Khelif, who clinched the gold medal in boxing at the Paris 2024 Games, has denied retirement claims that have been circulating. In a statement posted on her Facebook account, she clarified that the news about her retirement is false.
The controversy began when Yesfah, Khelif's former manager, accused her of betraying her trust and her country. However, Khelif's statement was a response to what she described as false and malicious statements made by Yesfah. It is important to note that Yesfah is no longer representing Khelif in her boxing career.
The court trial against Khelif and the new regulation of the World Boxing Authority regarding mandatory gender testing has not had a specific date publicly announced yet. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced the new regulation on Monday, which requires mandatory femininity tests for participants.
The hearing for Khelif's appeal has not been scheduled yet by CAS. It is unclear how this new regulation will impact Khelif's ongoing boxing career, but she has confirmed that her career is still ongoing, despite the controversy.

This controversy surrounding Khelif's boxing career is not an isolated incident. Taiwanese wrestler Lin Yu-ting is one of the boxers who sparked a gender eligibility controversy at the Paris Games.
As the situation develops, Khelif remains focused on her boxing career and her quest for justice. Her fans and supporters continue to rally behind her, hoping for a swift resolution to this complex issue.
