I might be guilty of spreading misinformation along with the entirety of this app
Although she’s been previously disqualified for failing a “gender test” and has XY chromosomes, some sources say Imane Khelif was born a biological woman
I stand by my sentiment… https://t.co/oVfWARylCJ pic.twitter.com/S2QvHPHwWg
This post was instantly received with criticism from fans. As Imane Khelif is a biological female, Paul was accused of spreading false information. Despite removing his original tweet addressing the alleged 'evil' contest, The Maverick refused to change his mind on the matter.
Imane Khelif previously failed the gender eligibility test for the 2023 IBA Women's World Boxing Championships. This was listed as a source in Paul's subsequent article. Despite a history of elimination in prior competitions, the Algerian boxer has been authorized to fight in the 2024 Olympics.
