There is a leaked medical report showing that Khelif has internal testes:

The Talk page has extensive debates on whether this can be mentioned, and the current "consensus" is that it can't be.

The article is saying that there are fairly credible denials no?

Just the Algerian government harrumphing. As GP says, Khelif herself has basically admitted to having the SRY gene in interviews, and has been notably tight-lipped about what medical tests caused her to be disqualified from women's boxing in the IBA.

It’s incorrect to call this a “leaked medical report”. This is a document of unknown origin, widely shared by online grifters.

Has Khelif published it? Otherwise, I don't think anyone's very personal information about their body should be on HN (or anywhere). If it doesn't violate a guideline, it should.

What does that have to do with the GP?

Contestant being invalidated would already innately make the reason for invalidation one for public consideration.
