World Athletics approves gender eligibility test
The Island
|March 27, 2025
World Athletics has approved the introduction of a test to determine if an athlete is biologically female.
-
Those wishing to compete in women's competition will need to complete the "pre-clearance requirement" once in their career.
While no timeline has been officially confirmed, the Press Association says that World Athletics is aiming to have it in place for September's World Championships in Tokyo.
The move is among several recommendations that have been approved at the World Athletics Council meeting to tighten regulations over the eligibility of transgender and difference of sex development (DSD) athletes.
Lord Coe, the governing body's president, said the decision was further evidence that World Athletics would "doggedly" protect the female category.
