NEW DELHI: Diagnostic services provider Dr Lal PathLabs is making headlines after a leaked medical report alleged that Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif has male chromosomes.
The test, originally done in March 2023 at the request of the International Boxing Association (IBA), led to Khelif’s disqualification from the Women's World Boxing Championships .
The same boxer later went on to win gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics , sparking renewed controversy over gender eligibility in women’s sports.
The medical report, accessed by 3 Wire Sports through Telegraph Sport, said, "Chromosome analysis reveals male karyotype." This development came after World Boxing declared that Khelif would need to undergo sex verification testing to continue participating in women's boxing events. The document bears the letterhead of Dr Lal PathLabs in New Delhi, an establishment accredited by the American College of Pathologists and certified by the International Organisation for Standardisation.
The company's history
1949 – 2005: Dr Lal PathLabs was founded in 1949 by the late Dr. Major S.K. Lal, who initially offered pathology services and operated a blood bank under the names Central Clinical Laboratory and Blood Bank Transfusion Centre. Over the decades, the company evolved and achieved major milestones, including NABL accreditation and international recognition from the College of American Pathologists (CAP) in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
2005 – 2010: In this period, Dr Lal PathLabs established its state-of-the-art National Reference Laboratory in Delhi, marking a key step in expanding its diagnostic capabilities and service quality.
2010 – 2015: The company significantly expanded its footprint across North, East, South, and West India. This phase of growth culminated in a successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) in December 2015, reinforcing its position as a trusted name in diagnostic healthcare.
Today, Dr Lal PathLabs continues to provide a wide range of diagnostic and healthcare testing services across the country, building on a legacy that began over 75 years ago.
Lal PathLabs runs 280 labs across India, including a National Reference Lab in Delhi and Regional Labs in Kolkata, Bangalore, and Mumbai.
