<\/a>Three major global women\u2019s sport oganisations1<\/sup> have called for action to immediately withdraw World Athletics\u2019 controversial DSD Regulations,2 <\/sup>and similar regulations enforced by other Olympic movement sport bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are the Regulations that exclude some female athletes, like Caster Semenya, from elite competition unless they take medical steps to artificially lower their natural levels of testosterone.<\/span><\/p>\n

On August 17, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published a correction that downgrades the validity of research used to justify World Athletics\u2019 DSD Regulations. The research authors stated that they \u201crecognise that statements in the paper could have been misleading by implying a causal inference\u201d they did not intend. They explained that their \u201cexploratory\u201d findings should not be seen as \u201cconfirmatory or evidence for a causal relationship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the \u2018exploratory\u2019 research used to justify exclusion cannot prove a causal relationship, World Athletics must act immediately to withdraw the current DSD Regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, women\u2019s sport organisations have called on the IOC,<\/em> and International Sport Federations<\/em> to show leadership on this issue, asking them to immediately suspend such regulations and to create an even and safe playing field for all sportswomen by ensuring that any future regulations by sport governing bodies are based on independent and robust research evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Le sport f\u00e9minin appelle \u00e0 une action mondiale contre les crit\u00e8res d\u2019\u00e9ligibilit\u00e9 qui r\u00e8glementent les femmes sportives<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Les trois organisations mondiales majeures1<\/sup> de sport f\u00e9minin lancent un appel \u00e0 l\u2019action pour que des mesures soient prises afin de retirer imm\u00e9diatement les r\u00e8glements controvers\u00e9s du DDS de World Athletics,2 <\/sup>et les r\u00e8glements similaires appliqu\u00e9s par d\u2019autres organisations sportives du mouvement olympique.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ce sont des r\u00e8glements qui excluent des comp\u00e9titions \u00e9lites certaines athl\u00e8tes f\u00e9minines, comme Caster Semenya, \u00e0 moins qu\u2019elles ne prennent des mesures m\u00e9dicales pour abaisser artificiellement leur niveau naturel de testost\u00e9rone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Le 17 ao\u00fbt, le \u201cBritish Journal of Sports Medicine\u201d a publi\u00e9 une correction qui invalide les recherches utilis\u00e9es pour justifier le r\u00e8glement DDS de World Athletics. Les auteurs de la recherche ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu\u2019ils \u201creconnaissaient que les d\u00e9clarations contenues dans l\u2019article auraient pu \u00eatre trompeuses en impliquant une inf\u00e9rence causale\u201d qui n\u2019\u00e9tait pas intentionnelle. Ils ont expliqu\u00e9 que leurs conclusions \u201cexploratoires\u201d ne devraient pas \u00eatre consid\u00e9r\u00e9es comme \u00ab\u00a0confirmatoires ou comme preuve d\u2019une relation causale\u00a0\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c9tant donn\u00e9 que la recherche \u201cexploratoire\u201d utilis\u00e9e pour justifier l\u2019exclusion ne peut pas prouver une relation de causalit\u00e9, World Athletics doit agir imm\u00e9diatement pour retirer le r\u00e8glement DDS actuel.<\/span><\/p>\n

En cons\u00e9quence, les organisations sportives f\u00e9minines demandent au CIO et aux F\u00e9d\u00e9rations Internationales de Sport de faire preuve de leadership sur cette question, leur demandant de suspendre imm\u00e9diatement ces r\u00e9glementations pour que toutes les sportives puissent participer en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et \u00e9quit\u00e9 en veillant \u00e0 ce que toute future r\u00e9glementation mise en place par des instances dirigeantes du sport soient bas\u00e9es sur des preuves de recherche ind\u00e9pendantes et solides.<\/span><\/p>\n

El deporte femenino pide una acci\u00f3n mundial sobre las normas defectuosas de elegibilidad <\/strong>\u00a0femenina<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tres importantes organizaciones mundiales del deporte femenino1<\/sup> han pedido que se tomen medidas para retirar de inmediato las controvertidas Regulaciones DSD de World Athletics,2<\/sup> y regulaciones similares impuestas por otros organismos deportivos del movimiento ol\u00edmpico.<\/span><\/p>\n

Estas son las regulaciones que excluyen a algunas atletas femeninas, como Caster Semenya, de la competencia de \u00e9lite a menos que tomen \u00a0medidas m\u00e9dicas para reducir artificialmente sus niveles naturales de testosterona.<\/span><\/p>\n

El 17 de agosto, el British Journal of Sports Medicine public\u00f3 una correcci\u00f3n que degrada la validez de la investigaci\u00f3n utilizada para justificar las Regulaciones DSD de World Athletics. Los autores de la investigaci\u00f3n declararon que “reconocen que las declaraciones en el documento podr\u00edan haber sido enga\u00f1osas al implicar una inferencia causal” que no pretend\u00edan. Explicaron que sus hallazgos “exploratorios” no deben verse como “confirmatorios o evidencia de una relaci\u00f3n causal”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dado que la investigaci\u00f3n “exploratoria” utilizada para justificar la exclusi\u00f3n no puede probar una relaci\u00f3n causal, World Athletics debe actuar de inmediato para retirar las regulaciones actuales de DSD.<\/span><\/p>\n

Como resultado, las organizaciones deportivas femeninas han pedido al COI<\/em> y a las Federaciones Deportivas Internacionales<\/em> que muestren liderazgo en este tema, pidi\u00e9ndoles que suspendan inmediatamente dichas regulaciones y que creen un campo de juego uniforme y seguro para todas las deportistas, asegurando que cualquier regulaci\u00f3n futura de los \u00f3rganos rectores del deporte se base en evidencia de investigaci\u00f3n independiente y s\u00f3lida.<\/span><\/p>\n
