CAPE TOWN - The World Medical Association has called on its members not to implement new International Association of Athletics Federations regulations that restrict testosterone levels in female athletes with differences in sexual development.

However, the WMA, which represents physicians from 114 national member associations, said there was “weak evidence” that the regulations were necessary and that they should be scrapped. “They are also contrary to a number of key WMA ethical statements and declarations, and as such we are calling for their immediate withdrawal.”

The association added it was unethical for physicians to prescribe treatment to lower testosterone if the condition was not recognized as pathological, and warned of the dangers of “artificially modifying blood constituents, biochemistry or endogenous testosterone”. CAS recognized in their verdict on Wednesday that the regulations were discriminatory, but added they were “necessary, reasonable and proportionate means of achieving the IAAF’s aim of preserving the integrity of female athletics in the Restricted Events”.
