'She' claims that she doesn't have an advantage due to reduced testosterone and the fact she's only won silver previously. In 2014 she competed as a man, so surely that will give some advantage when now competing against women.

 

Are hormone levels a good enough excuse to allow something like this, despite what the organisations say?

I doubt that her hormone treatment will make her bones more feminine or her heart smaller, I think she should not be allowed to compete.

 

Which University gave you those medical qualifications Dr Mickey? I think you've been had good and proper.

You must at least have some opinion, make it better than the one you made on the Winnie Mandella thread, that one obliterated your last shred of credibility.

Nothing to do with PC. If people are talking about stuff it helps if they've got some useful or expert knowledge. Your comment clearly had neither.
