The 2024 Paris Olympics featured two boxers winning gold in the women’s competition, despite previously failing gender-eligibility tests for international competitions.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPKhelif’s medals would likely be safe even in the face of a medical test published in 3 Wire Sports in June that reignited the gender controversy around the boxer.Fox News’ Jackson Thompson contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter. in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
