Imane Khelif faces scrutiny in AP Athlete of the Year voting after Olympic gold win

Imane Khelif, who won gold in boxing at the 2024 Olympics, is facing scrutiny in the AP Athlete of the Year voting. Despite her achievement, she received only four votes, finishing behind other athletes with established legacies. Khelif's victory was marred by accusations regarding her gender, despite being cleared to compete by the International Boxing Association (IBA). The IBA's testing methods have been criticized by the International Olympic Committee for their flaws. In response to the controversy, Khelif has initiated legal action against those who made false claims about her gender online. She is also pursuing a case against a publication for allegedly sharing unverified medical information about her.
