Major announcement just been made.

A study has revealed female athletes with hyperandrogenism get a huge boost because of their high testosterone levels

Too late for 2017 but, for example, the 800m could be very different in 2018

 

Just wow. Melissa Bishop was robbed in Rio!! What a joke.

I wonder if it was Captain Obvious who performed this study

I can't wait to see Spanovic for 2 days. This will be her first competiton after EIC. She had problem with injury and we will see what will be now. 6.8 will be ok for first competiton

That study is linked here https://www.iaaf.org/news/press-release/hyperandrogenism-research.

I can't understand why this would be decisive...they show that female athletes with more testosterone  (even in the "normal" women's range) have an advantage in certain events but also a disadvantage in other events  (100m, 200m, 100h,...). And a way smaller difference in testosterone levels seems to be more decisive in the hammer throw than in the 800m for example.
