Title: Androgynous women in sport Post by: RED-DOG on February 18, 2019, 11:50:09 AM I was listening to a thing on the wireless this morning and about female athletes who have more than there fair share of testosterone. It is said that this gives them an unfair advantage because apparently they are smashing world records all over the place. So, the powers that be want them to take somemething to lower their testosterone levels.
They say that would be unfair because higher testosterone levels are less than a natural advantage, just like longer legs or bigger lungs. I'm very fence sitty atm, but I am swaying towards making them lower the testo. https://www.news.com.au/sport/olympics/athletics/caster-semenya-speaks-out-on-new-gender-rules-placed-on-female-athletes/news-story/e38679102eacd32b8189e3cef17f5c02 Title: Re: Androgynous women in sport Post by: BigAdz on February 18, 2019, 11:55:39 AM Pretty sure somewhere I read she had internal testes.
I'm not a doctor or wot, but pretty sure that means she has got bollocks.......

Looool is this not the easiest no ever ?
Title: Re: Androgynous women in sport Post by: MintTrav on February 19, 2019, 01:09:10 AM I dunno if extra testosterone helps. Semenya hasn't been able to even get close to Kratochvilova's 35-year-old world record, and you couldn't question Jarmila's credentials.

It meant he took less strides than everybody else. Wonder if Seb Coe would advocate reducing the length of his legs with surgical intervention to make it fair.
