- The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Council which met in Doha has framed new rules for Transgender Athletes competing in the female category.
- Female transgender athletes must lower their testosterone levels by half under the new regulations.
- Their concentration of testosterone should be less than five nanomoles per litre continuously for a period of at least 12 months prior to being declared eligible as “female athlete”.
- Also, a transgender athlete is no longer required to be recognised by law as a “female”.
- Just a signed declaration that her gender identity is female will be sufficient.
- Similar rules apply to athletes with differences of sexual development (DSD), or hyperandrogenism.
