Worth noting that the IBA is not considered credible by the IOC, is considered highly influenced by Russian corruption, and that this failure came just after she defeated a Russian.

Also, despite whatever tests she may have failed in the past, she passed eligibility tests to compete in these Olympics.

Also worth noting that anyone who thinks Algeria would send a trans woman to the Olympics is pretty ignorant.
