Beschreibungen/Notizen
Jordan-Young et al tackle the recent policy introduced by the International Olympic Committee and international sports federations. This policy requires medical investigation of women athletes known or suspected to have hyperandrogenism. Women who are found to have naturally high testosterone levels and tissue sensitivity are banned from competition unless they have surgical or pharmaceutical interventions to lower their testosterone levels. Here, they explain why the policy on hyperandrogenism was introduced and whether the new policy undermines ethical care.
