Yes, you’ve definitely come up with a plausible reason why a Muslim country would be okay with a transgender athlete. Algeria is just desperate for international prestige. It will definitely do something or other.
I love how your whole conversation here is like “I’m not saying Khelif isn’t a woman and shouldn’t compete, but someone who is a person who boxes women that I have not named, but have decided is not a woman, should not compete with women. But I’m not saying it’s Khelif.”
What exactly do you think the Soviet Union achieved by winning a bunch of medals?

Cold war rivalry. Proxy battle.
National pride and unity.
International prestige.
So nothing important then.

Bullshit.
