To me, the core of the issue hinges on whether Khelif is DSD or not. If her biological makeup is providing her with both X and Y chromosomes, then it would be unfair to have her compete in the female category. If she is not DSD, then obviously she would be fully entitled to compete with other females.
So far, Khelif has not commented on the issue, nor has she provided any proof to otherwise confirm or deny whether she is DSD. Because of this, if she goes on to win her boxing matches, the controversy of whether she deservingly won those matches are just going to continue.
The IOC policy failure that I spoke of lies in how IOC did not clearly define the eligibility requirements for the competing athletes to convince the public that the games' outcomes are fair.
