    Sprinting victory for Dutee Chand: cleared to compete
  • The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) cleared Indian sprinter Dutee Chand to compete in national and international athletics events in a landmark judgement, which may have far reaching consequences.

    In this judgement, the panel suspended International Association of Athletics Federations' (IAAF) hyperandrogenism regulations.

    The judgement supports the stand taken by the Sports Ministry and the Sports Authority of India in this testing controversy.

  • 18 year old sprinter Dutee Chand was dropped from the Indian athletics team for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

    IAAF regulation against hyperandrogenism

  • According to IAAF regulations, athletes suffering from hyperandrogenism i.e. with enhanced testosterone levels, such as Chand, were barred from competing in the women's category.

  • In a temporary respite, the Court of Arbitration allowed Chand to participate in national and state level events till her appeal against IAAF policy on hyperandrogenism did not arrive at final verdict.

    The SAI said "Sport celebrates human diversity, regardless of inherent natural characteristics"

    It also said that a ban like the one on Dutee promoted "discrimination against women" and needed to be stopped.
