World Athletics planning amendments to female eligibility guidelines

World Athletics is planning to introduce new amendments to its female eligibility guidelines in 2025, focusing on athletes with differences in sex development (DSD). These changes aim to address concerns about fairness in competition, particularly in events where DSD athletes have shown significant success. The current regulations, which require DSD athletes to reduce their testosterone levels below a certain threshold to compete in women's events, might be adjusted or expanded. The specifics of these amendments are still under review, but they could potentially affect the participation of athletes like Caster Semenya and Christine Mboma in international competitions. The organization is also considering the implications of these rules on human rights and the well-being of the athletes involved, aiming for a balance between competitive equity and athlete rights.
