**Imane Khelif, the Boxer with Hyperandrogenism Who Stirred Controversy at the Olympics**

On August 1st, during a boxing match at the Olympics, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif surprised the world by breaking the nose of her Italian opponent Angela Karini in just 46 seconds. However, what really sparked controversy was not the fierceness of her victory, but the accusations and criticisms surrounding her participation in women's competitions due to her hyperandrogenism condition.

Imane Khelif has been consistently pointed at and questioned for not passing the gender verification tests conducted prior to the Olympics. In the past, she was disqualified from the Women's World Boxing Championship due to her high testosterone levels, raising doubts about her eligibility to compete in exclusively women's competitions.

According to reports, Imane Khelif was assigned female at birth and identifies as a woman, but her hyperandrogenism leads to higher-than-usual testosterone levels. Despite this, the International Boxing Association has stood firm in its stance, arguing that the boxer does not meet the requirements to compete in women's categories.

Before the Olympics match, the International Olympic Committee broke its silence and ensured that all athletes competing in the women's category meet the competition's eligibility rules. Even the Algerian Olympic Committee came to Khelif's defense, denouncing the criticisms and accusations against her that spread on social media, particularly targeting her and the transgender community, as lies and discriminatory discourse.
