Reexamining Rationales of 'Fairness': An Athlete and Insider's Perspective on the New Policies on Hyperandrogenism in Elite Female Athletes

摘要

The International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) and the International Olympics Committee (IOC) propose that their new policies for women with high levels of testosterone, known as hyperandrogenism, are implemented to ensure fairness "for all female athletes," yet fairness to the women they will directly impact is not considered. None of the female athletes disqualified by prior policies were invited to attend the meetings that were held to formulate the new policies. In addition, psychological experts were not invited to elucidate the impact of such policies.
