The World Athletics Council is set to introduce new regulations and testing methods for transgender and athletes with differences in sex development (DSD) in the women's category. These changes include the implementation of cheek swab tests to determine testosterone levels, aiming to ensure fairness in competition. The new rules will require transgender and DSD athletes to maintain testosterone levels below 2.5 nanomoles per liter for at least two years to be eligible to compete in women's events. This decision comes after extensive consultation and is part of an ongoing effort to balance inclusivity with competitive equity in athletics. The specifics of these regulations are expected to be detailed in a forthcoming statement from World Athletics.
