The question of the participation of Semenya and other so-called hyperandrogens was, for several years, a long sequence with several legal bodies involved. In the end, the international arbitration court decided Cas the case for World Athletics (formerly IAAF) favor last year. It wasn't enough to be born as a woman to participate in competitions among other women. Cas gave the World Athletic the right to force women with naturally elevated testosterone values ​​to medicate them down to stand up in the women's class.

The entire 800 meters steam ramp at the Rio 2016 Olympics was forced last year to start medication. In addition to the gold medalist Caster Semenya, it was about Francine Niyonsaba and Margaret Wambui. Semenya struggled hard for her fall last season but dropped the run after a run on June 30. Niyonsaba closed down a few weeks earlier. Wambui competed in mid-July and ran only two 800-meter races last season. The future of these on the racetrack looks worrying with the new regulatory framework of medication that makes their results significantly worse.

"Have no definition to fall back on"

SvFF has followed developments in athletics and believes that some form of governance will be needed.

- We at the national level have a regulatory framework but no definition to fall back on. Other sports will start to glance at the rules of the International Athletics Association. There will be a need to have a regulatory framework that protects women's competitions. It's about having a protected women's class, says SvFF's chief lawyer Anders Hübinette to Radio Sports.

What are the risks?

- We have to think through this carefully, in what contexts? Do we even need to have this regulatory framework that provides an opportunity for control? If you harden it, in the worst case, you can end up in situations where this is the prerequisite for being able to participate and participate at the highest level; that you are prepared to undergo investigations or similar.

RF is against the idea

The Semenya fall became indicative of athletics, something that SvFF now has as a benchmark.

- Cas concluded in the Semenya case that it is not a viable method for elite sports. If you have a protected women's class then the legal gender or the self-experienced gender cannot be the deciding factor for who is allowed to compete in which class.

At the National Sports Federation, RF, you are not prepared to develop measurement methods for gender affiliation.

- Now it is possible to measure testosterone, but on the day we, for example, can measure mental ability, should we put restrictions on it? Or where do you draw the boundaries of what can be regarded as equal conditions, says Peter Mattsson, sports director at RF, to Radio Sports.
