World Athletics president calls future of women’s sport ‘fragile,’ defends testosterone regulations – Times of London

CNN  

CNN — The president of World Athletics, Sebastian Coe, reportedly said that the integrity and future of women’s sport is “fragile” and defended his governing body’s rules on testosterone. University of Pennsylvania swimmer Thomas last week became the first out transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I title after finishing first in the women’s 500-yard freestyle event. According to World Athletics rules, which govern track and field events – and do not apply to swimming – a transgender woman must demonstrate that she has had testosterone levels continuously below 5 nmol per liter for a period of at least 12 months to be allowed to compete, and must keep those levels “for so long as she wishes to maintain her eligibility to compete in the female category of competition.” But some athletes do not fit neatly into these rules. Last week, Reka Gyorgy of Virginia Tech wrote in an open letter published on the website of Swimming World magazine and shared by Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Twitter that it was “disrespectful” for the NCAA to allow Thomas to compete against what Gygory referred to as “biologically female,” using a term that does not have one standard medical definition, and is sometimes used to suggest – contrary to science – that there are characteristics shared by all cisgender women that differentiate them from all transgender women.
