World Boxing has announced the introduction of mandatory genetic testing for all boxers participating in its competitions to promote fairness and equality between male and female athletes. This decision comes into focus with the case of Paris Olympics women's welterweight champion Imane Khelif, who is barred from competing until she undergoes the required genetic sex screening. The PCR genetic testing will be implemented for all athletes over 18, aiming to detect the SRY gene linked to biological sex, thereby ensuring a level playing field in boxing events.
Imane Khelif may not participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup... until Imane Khelif undergoes genetic sex screening in accordance with World Boxing's rules and testing procedures.
The PCR test is a laboratory technique used to detect specific genetic material... that reveals the presence of the Y chromosome, which is an indicator of biological sex.
