World Athletics, led by President Sebastian Coe, will implement mandatory sex testing for athletes entering female competitions to safeguard the integrity of women’s sports.
The non-invasive testing, which may involve cheek swabs or dry blood tests conducted just once per athlete, aims to verify whether competitors have “transitioned” after male puberty or possess sex development differences that could result in testosterone advantages.
The decision comes two years after banning athletes assigned male at birth from female events and follows growing debates about gender eligibility in sports.
While the International Olympic Committee previously opposed sex testing, new leadership under Kirsty Coventry is open to discussing the issue.
Athletes to be tested to make sure they are biological women before they compete in women’s sports.
The World Athletics Council will introduce the tests in an effort to put an end to biological male athletes competing in the female category.

Sanity is finally returning to the world
Didn’t Crocodile Dundee have a test to verify if they were female or not?
The worm has turned, now they have realised people wont tolerate this nonsense and its hurting their legitimacy and, by extension, their bottom line. People wont pay to go to Olympic Games where men are unfairly competing, in women’s competitions.
“transitioned” after male puberty”
So men who transition before pubity are elegable to play! There will still be men in women sports and men that dont go through pubity will still have an advantage over real women, sounds like Mr Coe cucked.
Babies are not “assigned” a gender at birth…their “sex” is observed. It is very important that we use the correct biological terms.
