Imane Khelif was ‘told to return Olympic gold medal’ after bombshell new details were released.
The 26-year-old athlete went viral after beating Yanh Liu in their welterweight fight during the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.
Her win caused a lot of controversy however, after the Algerian athlete failed an unspecified gender eligibility test in 2023 carried out by the International Boxing Association.
Controversy sparked after Khelif beat Italian boxer Angela Carini in just 46 seconds. The Italian claimed that Khelif’s punches ‘hurt too much’, however, she later apologized for not shaking her opponents hand and all of the negative controversy that followed.
