Many famous people like Elon Musk have condemned the International Olympic Committee’s decision to allow Kheleif to participate in the women’s category. Now India’s sprinter Dutee Chand has also reacted to this entire issue. Dutee Chand has also been involved in similar controversies.
On this whole matter, Dutee Chand said, ‘In 2014, I challenged the rule in Switzerland’s Sports Dispute Settlement Court that a person with high testosterone levels should not participate in sports. It was said that hormone levels cannot enhance sports performance. I suffered a lot at that time. I had to face a lot of controversy regarding my gender.’

He further said, ‘Karini gave up during the Olympic match and now she is complaining about the Algerian boxer because of high testosterone levels. When you play in the Olympics, you have to undergo many tests. I don’t think it is right to debate on social media about this.’
