It depends on exactly how they do it. If it frees up space for additional sports in general, or bigger fields in sports with a ridiculously low amount of quotas, I'd be ok with it.

Plan is to reduce the suit as for the summer in every sport. Get it a lot smaller.

My guess is Women’s football is where we will see some players refusing to go to the Olympics in protest at having to take a test. Feels like that’s one here they are some biological women who would do that. Maybe a few others 

 

Could be the odd country where legal or political challenges cause issue for events. Particularly ones where local authorities have more power as urban ones where majority of sporting event are held more likely to be left wing and liberal. 
 

Has Caster Semenya ever actually said her chromosomes. The BBC report it as fact but I don’t remember her ever saying it or any official document saying it either.

Equally are we going to get the return of suspicious retirements as it does seem possible some don’t actually know they DSD. Particularly of younger people.
