It would be fine if they had low testosterone levels.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, competitors must maintain a blood level of testosterone below 5 nanomoles\/liter during at least 12 consecutive months. The new plan requires athletes to measure 2.5 nanomoles\/liter. This time limit has been extended to two years.<\/p>\n<p>This proposal is in sharp contrast to previous statements made by Lord Sebastian Coe, President of World Athletics.  <\/p>\n<p>Coe stated that in March 2022 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/other-sports\/sebastian-coe-transgender-swimming-debate-26526026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gender cannot trump biology<\/a>\u201d And that \u201cfairness is non-negotiable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coe was expected follow the example of Fina, an international swimming federation.
