I, Napoleon

An idea so radical it just might work.

The International Olympic Committee finally did what so many of us have been demanding for years: it drew a clear, unambiguous line in the sand to protect women’s sports. Under its first-ever female president, Kirsty Coventry, the IOC announced a new eligibility policy that limits competition in the female category at the Olympics, Youth Olympics and all IOC-sanctioned events to females only. Novel concept, right? In today’s world, it is.

Starting with the 2028 Los Angeles Games, this will be verified through a simple, one-time SRY gene screening — a cheek swab, saliva sample, or blood draw — to confirm the absence of the male sex-determining gene.

  2. How soon we forget. During the Montréal Olympics, serious concerned were raised as to the sex of the East German women’s swim team. and a requirement was subsequently made that all women competitors had to submit to a cheek swab test. Turned out that particular team were indeed biological women, but had been subjected to a rather nasty cocktail of hormones which made them stronger and faster than ordinary women. They took away a fair few medals, but had serious health problems in later life because of said hormones (which – it is my understanding – they were told were ‘vitamins’).
