IOC just disqualified women for having too much testosterone. Why do some women have more testosterone? If it’s naturally occurring why isn’t it like height for example in basketball? Just a natural advantage. My first post here, thanks in advance!!
In: Biology
Men have ~300 – 1,200 nanograms while women have ~15- 100 nanograms naturally. These women popping are probably hiring multiples of what is natural which means they are artificially increasing their numbers. This is cheating simulate to blood doping where people transfuse blood into their system making it so they can move more oxygen.
There are of course variances to the testosterone but it only goes so far.
Edit: I have been looking but nothing really indicates what their rules say for ranges and it does not say what they popped at. Reading the IOC rules also does not give a specific range.
