Suspension of gender verification
The decision to abandon compulsory gender verification in Olympic competition was taken in 1999, following many years of debate.
In the words of Eric Vilain:
Sex should be easily definable, but it's not. Our gender identity, our profound sense of being male or female is independent from our anatomy.
DSDs are a hugely complex group of conditions. These abnormalities challenge both our scientific and social understanding of what sex and sexual differentiation are. The management of DSDs is challenging; the traditional approach bases sex assignment around future reproductive potential, future sexual potential and the cosmetic appearance of the external genitalia.16 Recent neuroscience research suggests that sexual dimorphism of the brain may occur prenatally, implying that gender-typical behaviour may be determined prior to sex assignment at birth. A more flexible approach to DSD management, involving parental decision making and close liaison with a child psychiatrist, is currently suggested.

But your words speak that you do not understand essence of I have said. I did not speak about Disorders of Sex Development like which be because androgen insensitivity when the rudiments of the male sexual organes are formed at the genetic females OR (especially) male pseudohermaphroditism.
I said about hyperandrogenia which be as result of the androgen hypersecretion by ovary or adrenal glands cortex. Such cases do not satisfy criteria which were used at disorders of gender and gender biological identity and were never excluded by a IOC medical commission.
The regular usage of anabolic steroids approaches such pseudo-female organism to male's even more.
