Now Imane Khelif is admitting it directly:

https://www.lemonde.fr/en/sports/article/2026/02/05/boxer-imane-khelif-reveals-she-took-hormone-treatment-before-paris-olympics_6750171_9.html

In an interview with a French sports daily, the 26-year-old Algerian, who has been the target of repeated attacks, confirms that she has the SRY gene and took treatment to lower her testosterone levels in order to compete.

This is not the case of female XY, and so Khelif is biologically male.
