The decision by World Triathlon will allow transgender athletes to compete in the women\u2019s category, a decision which runs counter to the policy that FINA, swimming\u2019s governing body, unveiled earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, World Triathlon will require competitors to have a testosterone level of 2.5 nmol\/L for a two-year period before competing in the women\u2019s category. Additionally, competitors must not have competed in the male category \u2013 in any sport \u2013 for a period of four years. The testosterone level identified for use by World Triathlon remains higher than the average testosterone production of a biological female.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.triathlon.org\/news\/article\/transgender_policy_process\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here is the full policy from World Triathlon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the International Consortium On Female Sport, objected to the decision by World Triathlon, citing its infringement on fairness for female athletes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorld Triathlon\u2019s new policy on eligibility for the women\u2019s category is a disappointment,\u201d the ICFS said. \u201cAllowing males into the female category is not compatible with fairness for female athletes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn its statement, the President says that World Triathlon \u2018has always had inclusion and gender balance in our DNA\u2019 and that the policy \u2018shows that we are prioritizing the fairness principle but showing inclusiveness.\u2019 This \u2018but\u2019 is significant. World Triathlon knows fairness does not permit inclusion in the female category of post-pubertal males. Sport achieves inclusion via categories: age, sex, Paralympic; not by including some older athletes into U14s or some able-bodied athletes into Para or some males into female categories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsconsortium.org\/post\/statement_on_world_triathlons_new_transgender_policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here is the full statement from the International Consortium On Female Sport<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Triathlon Adopts Policy That Will Allow Transgender Athletes in Women&#8217;s Competition World Triathlon, the global governing body of the sport, announced its transgender policy on Wednesday.
