#WorldAthletics to require chromosome testing of #athletes in #women’s #trackandfield
“in February proposed recommendations that would apply strict transgender rules to #athletes who were born #female but had what the organization describes as naturally occurring testosterone levels in the typical male range … came only days after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring transgender #athletes from competing in #girls #sports in the U.S.” apnews.com/article/coe-cheek-s

AP News · World Athletics to require chromosome testing of athletes in women's track and fieldWorld Athletics president Sebastian Coe says the track and field’s governing body has approved the introduction of cheek swabs and dry blood-spot tests for female athletes in order to maintain “the integrity of competition.” The planned changes include reinstating a version of chromosome testing that was discontinued in the 1990s, requiring athletes who compete in the female category to submit to a cheek swab or dry blood-spot test for the presence of a gene that indicates whether the athlete has a “Y” chromosome present in males. Coe says athletes will have to take the test just once during their career. No timeline for the introduction of pre-clearance testing has been officially announced.

“#GrantHolloway has been nothing but unbeatable over the 60m #hurdles … have to turn the clock back to March 16, 2014, when he was just 16 and competing at the New York New Balance Nationals to unearth the last time the now 27-year-old didn’t finish first”
“#Trackandfield is a weird sport … we can do a better job of marketing certain #athletes that have certain skills, or are going for history more so than marketing just this regular shoe brand”
