A presentation on a World’s Athletics Panel in Tokyo on Friday revealed that 50 to 60 athletes with male biological benefits have been finalists in the female category at the Global and Continental Championships since 2000.
The panel was led by the head of the World Athletics Health and Science Department, Dr. Stephane Bermon, who said that sex tests were needed due to an “over -representation” of DSD (differences in sex development) athletes among finalists per year. More reports.
Controvers about the question in the world’s athletics arose when South Africa’s Caster Semenya won Olympic gold in 800m by 2012 and 2016 games. Then at Tokyo -ol in 2021, Namibia’s Christine Mboma claimed silver in 200m.

World Athletics changed his policy in March 2023, excluding man-to-kingdom transking athletes who have undergone male puberty from women’s competitions, prioritized “justice and integrity.”
Last October, The Fn Said that nearly 900 biological females have come under the podium because they were knocked out by trans athletes.
The results were prepared by Reem Alsalem, the United Nations Mayor of Violence Against Women, entitled “Violence against women and girls in sports.”
The report said that more than 600 athletes did not medal in more than 400 competitions in 29 sports, a total of over 890 medals, according to information obtained up to 30 March.
“The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals when competing against men,” the report said.
“This is huge, especially coming from the UN …” Outkick contributions and “Gaines for Girls” host Riley Gaines told “Fox and Friends” Wednesday. “A girl who is utilized in dressing room, a girl who gets hurt in their sport is one too many.”

The new president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Kirsty Coventry, approached the topic of transient athletes competing in women’s sports at its first official news conference since the acquisition in June, saying that there is “overwhelming support” of IOC members to protect the female category.
“We understand that there will be differences depending on the sport … but it was very clear from the members that we first have to protect the female category, first and foremost to ensure justice,” Coventry said.
“But we have to do so with a scientific approach and inclusion of the international federations that have already done a lot of work in this area.”
The new president added that there is “unanimous” support to come to an agreement on how to change the policy, and suggested that the IOC may be able to draw inspiration from the world’s athletics policy that restricts biological men from competing in women’s sports if these men have gone through male puberty.
“It was very clear of the membership that the discussion about this must be done with medical and scientific research at the core, so we look at the facts and nuances and inclusion of the international federations that have done so much of this work … to have a seat at the table and share with us because every sport is different,” she said.
“But it was quite unanimously felt that the IOC should take a leading role in bringing everyone together to try to find a broad consensus.”
However, Coventry also said that any changes would probably not result in retroactive effect in changing the results of previous competitions containing athletes with gender eligibility issues.
Paris Games in 2024 contained two boxers who won gold in women’s competition, despite previous failed gender eligibility attempts for international competitions.
“We won’t do anything retrospective. We look forward to. From the members [it] Was ‘what do we learn from the past and how should we take advantage of it and move it forward for the future?’ “Said Coventry.
