World Athletics decides to conduct gender tests on female athletes.

Anyone wishing to participate in the women’s category in world ranking competitions will have to undergo a gender test. To confirm the gender of the player, the ‘SRY’ test must be done by the player only once in his life.

According to World Athletics, only athletes whose test results are negative will be eligible to participate in the women’s category. This law will come into effect from the World Athletics Championships to be held on September 25.
Those wishing to participate in the World Championships will be required to submit test results by September 1. According to World Athletics, the responsibility for gender testing in athletics lies with the relevant federation.

It should be noted that World Athletics will pay $100 per athlete for testing before the World Championships.
