Victory for the women who race?
I can't see this going away anytime soon so how will this end up, one race for everyone or a separate race for those classed in between?

I have sympathy with Caster who simply wishes to compete as they are, but I've also sympathy for those with normal female hormones who want sport to be fair on them also. Whatever was decided would disadvantage someone.
Maybe all sports should be handicapped sports. After all it's unfair that those who have trained and got fit & good, compete against those who wish to try unenhanced as nature intended ;-)

I'm really quite surprised by this decision.
She is a woman with a naturally occurring higher testosterone level than what is considered normal - that is not her fault. To suggest she can only compete if she takes drugs to reduce her naturally occurring testosterone seems unfair and wrong to me.
This decision has been made to "to ensure fair competition for females". I won't point out the irony that Dr 'Rachel' McKinnon is allowed to compete against women.
