Imane Khelif has appealed to the court of arbitration for sport over World Boxing\u2019s decision to bar the 26-year-old from its events without a preliminary genetic sex test.<\/p>\n

A court statement said an appeal was filed by Khelif on 5 August seeking to overturn a decision by World Boxing blocking the Algerian\u2019s participation in the Box Cup in Eindhoven or any World Boxing event until a genetic sex test had taken place.<\/p>\n

The appeal also seeks a declaration from Cas that Khelif is eligible to participate without a test in the World Boxing Championships between 4 and 14 September.<\/p>\n

The court statement said a request to suspend World Boxing\u2019s decision to bar Khelif until the case is heard was dismissed on Monday. Written submissions are being exchanged between the parties, the court statement said, and a hearing will be scheduled with their agreement.<\/p>\n

Khelif won Olympic women\u2019s welterweight gold<\/a> in Paris last summer having been cleared to compete by the International Olympic Committee, despite the International Boxing Association having banned Khelif from the previous year\u2019s world championships for allegedly failing to meet gender eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n

After winning gold, Khelif said: \u201cI am fully qualified to take part in this competition \u2013 I am a woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was born a woman, I\u2019ve lived as a woman and I\u2019ve competed as a woman. There\u2019s no doubt that there are enemies of success, and that gives my success a special taste because of these attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imane Khelif has appealed to the court of arbitration for sport over World Boxing\u2019s decision to bar the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":125449,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[200,79],"class_list":["post-125448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-genetics","tag-genetics","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
