Hey genius - In 2020 no one knew.
2023, Khelif got cheek swab.
If it has a Y, it's a guy.
She received the same gender testing in the previous years that she did in 2022 and 2023. Also, the IBA won't say which tests it performed on Khelif and Lin. All we have, to my knowledge, is the increasingly erratic and hysterical statements of the IBA's ex-president on Social Media; though, he hasn't provided any evidence either. Officially, the IBA won't say where, when, or how it tested Khelif or Lin...just that Khelif failed a non-testosterone-based test and that Lin failed a biochemicals test.
Personally, I wouldn't put my faith in the IBA. It's had decades of bribery, cheating, betting, judging and refereeing, and other scandals, which were only exacerbated when it elected Gafur Rakhimov, an Uzbek businessman associated with Russian organized crime and heroin trafficking, as its president.
After Rakhimov, they elected Umar Kremlev, a close friend of Vladimir Putin and pro-Russia zealot. He moved IBA's operations to Russia and made it's sole major supporter the state-owned energy company Gazprom. Kremlev isn't a fan of the International Olympic Committee trying to tell him how to run the IBA. He's called the IOC leader a "sodomite" and accused the IOC of supporting anti-Russian organizations such as Common Cause Alliance.
Most Western countries have withdrawn from IBA and joined World Boxing as an alternative ruling body; however, Algiers and Taiwan are still members of IBA. In retaliation, the IBA attempted to ban any athlete who participated in events sponsored by non-IBA organizations.
Kremlev has stacked IBA's board of directors with cronies and prevented attempts by members to elect different leadership by having all of his opposition "disqualified" as candidates for IBA's elections; an action that was later reversed by the international sports arbitration court. However, instead of holding new elections with the now-reinstated candidates, Kremlev merely allowed his board of cronies to "vote" whether they wanted to hold another "vote." They did not...unsurprisingly.
The IOC informed all of its member organizations that Russia and Belarus would be banned from competing under their national flags and anthems in the 2024 Olympics, but the IBA under Kremlev ignored this mandate and allowed Russian athletes to compete.
The IOC has since cut ties with the IBA with the extraordinary remedy of permanently banning it from participation in the IOC. In fact, if the international boxing community doesn't get its shit together, boxing won't even by in the 2028 Olympics.
As stated above, Kremlev is a pro-Russia zealot. But why would he want to punish Khelif? Because she loudly and embarrassingly beat then-undefeated RUSSIAN female boxer Azalia Amineva. They allowed Khelif to box Amineva even though gender testing of Khelif had already been conducted a year prior; however, when Khelif beat Russia's undefeated champion, the IBA suddenly (and with continued refusal to release the evidence) decided to declare Khelif ineligible to fight and retroactively awarded the win to Amineva, protecting her undefeated record.
IMO, Kremlev wanted to fuck with the IOC in retaliation for the IBA being ousted, and he looked around for athletes he had control over (remember, Algiers and Taiwan were still competing in the IBA) that were also going to compete in the Olympics, and he tried to de-legitimize the IOC's boxing this year. It was a two-fer because he also got to protect Russia's undefeated boxing champion.
But you believe anything you want. Personally, I wouldn't put all my eggs into the corrupt IBA basket.
