  • XX chromosomes are the base requirement. Olympics also tests for elevated testoserone.

    “Testosterone is measured for female athletes in the Olympics. The regulations set a limit of 5 nmol/L testosterone for athletes competing in certain events, specifically for distances between 400 meters and 1 mile. Athletes with conditions that cause high testosterone levels may need to suppress their testosterone levels to compete in these events. Additionally, the World Athletics Council has recently reduced the limit to 2.5 nmol/L for athletes with differences in sexual development”

    So both conditions, plus others I’d imagine, have to be met.







  • Goal achieved from a bit of smoke and mirrors:

    “The benchmark was partly achieved by an internal reorganization of the federal government, which has seen some agencies, such as the Canadian Coast Guard, moved under the auspices of the Defence Department and therefore counted toward the NATO target. It was also achieved through a substantial pay raise for members of the military and by pouring money into base infrastructure and overhaul.”
