As more evidence becomes available, we will review our position, but we believe the integrity of the female category in athletics is paramount.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you Seb Coe and World Athletics for standing up for female athletes across the world who are worthy of fair sport,\u201d Davies tweeted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sebcoe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@sebcoe<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WorldAthletics?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WorldAthletics<\/a> for standing up for female athletes across the world who are worthy of fair sport \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sharron Davies MBE (@sharrond62) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sharrond62\/status\/1638949019060674560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 23, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you so much all of you who\u2019ve had my back here &#038; over the last few years,\u201d Davies, who has been fighting for years to keep women\u2019s sport just for women, tweeted. \u201cSo many great messages.
