The Algerian was cleared to fight at the Games after previously being booted out the 2023 IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships for failing a gender test.
Ahead of the Olympics, chiefs slammed the IBA’s disqualification as “sudden and arbitrary” and taken “without any due process”, allowing the athlete born a woman to compete.
TV presenter Woods has been outspoken about the issue and praised an article on social media that highlighted concerns about Khelif’s involvement during the Olympics.
At the time, she said amongst a number of tweets: “Since I replied to this article I’ve had numerous death threats to myself and my unborn child.
“Questions on my own gender (I’m pregnant so guess that clears that one up) calls for my employers to sack me, threats to my home…
“I’ve been called a racist, a bigot and a sexist as well as various insults.
“When there are discrepancies with test results – which could impact the safety of another human being, in an environment that above all else should be fair – questions are quite rightly going to be asked.
“The answers are still unclear, otherwise this topic would be closed.”
Following the release of supposed leaked medical reports that claim Khelif is a “biological man”, Woods took to social media once again today.
She wrote: “Saw A LOT of what was written about me and others for even daring to ask questions about this. I won’t forget that.
“I hope the women who had to face a biological man in the ring and whose concerns were drowned out, now get some sort of justice, but I won’t hold my breath.”
A follower replied: “Hope you haven’t lost friends over it Laura. Well done for sticking to your guns! I hope the young lady can get her medal.
“Then again, why would she want it? Her Olympic dream was ruined from the get go.”
Woods, who is currently pregnant after announcing she is expecting a baby with former Love Island star Adam Collard, responded: “Unfortunately I have.
“I’ve seen their tweets on here about me (repeatedly). On the medal, I don’t think she will get it, which is the biggest travesty, and the fact the IOC allowed this all to happen.”
