World Athletics Council announced on Wednesday that athletes who want to compete in female categories at the World Cup are obliged to undergo a “once in the life test” for eligibility.
The test will be for the sry gene, “a reliable proxy for determining biological sex” with a cheek stick or blood test, the organization said in a release.
“The philosophy that we keep dear in World Athletics is the protection and promotion of the integrity of women’s sports. It is really important in a sport that permanently tries to attract more women that they enter a sport that believes there is no biological glass ceiling.

“We say, at the elite level, for you to compete in the female category, you have to be biologically female. It was always very clear to me and the world’s athletics council that gender cannot trump biology.”
The organization announced the potential test in March when COE said the test was “necessary” to protect women’s sports.
The specific gene “provides instructions for the manufacture of a protein called the gender-determined area Y-protein. This protein is involved in male typical gender development, which usually follows a particular pattern based on a person’s chromosomes,” according to Medline Plus.
COE, who was in the process of becoming the International Head of Olympic Committee, said in November BEER needed a clear policy to protect female sports.

World Athletics, the governing body of track and field sports across the globe, tightened its rules on trans athletes To exclude transnocious women who have reviewed male puberty from competing in the female category.
Since the organization decided this test months ago, NCAA has been subjected to calls to adopt similar protocols. NCAA changed its demands for transient athletes competing in female sports shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order.

Trump signed “No Men In Women’s Sports” executive order in February to prevent biological men from playing in girls and women’s sports. NCAA said a “Student-Athlet assigned man at birth may not compete for a woman’s team.”
The previous politics that had been in place in 2010 allowed biological men to compete in the female category after reviewing at least one year of testosterone oppression.
