**The International Olympic Committee (IOC) suspended the tests before the 2000 Sydney Olympics. However, the Olympic Council of Asia still conducts tests.**
And what? I already have said to you that the female hyperandrogenia without explicitandrogenital syndrome was never considered as criterion for exception of a female team.
**What I do understand is that from your first post under this topic you have attempted to question a females athletic abilities you make suggestions that if a female can compete against a male and win then there must be some thing wrong. I think your suggestions are insulting to female athletes. **
The frequency of androgenital syndrome is about 70-90% at top female sportswomen in power sports. The sports medicine finds that in highest cohorts of the sportswomen the individuals with the hormone status deviations are selected. As an example I have specified to you parameters of the testosterone level at plasma of the female weightlifters blood of a highest group (they exceed average normal parameters several times, there is the contents of 17-ketosterone in urine metabolite of androgenes - males hormones) also is increased. Therefore in medicine and biology of the human, it is necessary to mark out some aspects of a sex passports (document), genetic, gonads, hormones and others ones. Owing to complexity of adequate definition of a true sex and existence of uncertain intermediate condition the Olympic committee has cancelled check gender.
Nature have provided two sexes which differ from each other on the biological functions, it is called «sexual dimorphism». Accordingly, both the different psychological and different physical abilities in norm in them are incorporated. High hormone background of testosterone at the male develops at him not only male's sexual attributes, but also structure of a body, when shoulders are wide, and pelvis is rather narrow. At the woman normal hormone background of estrogenes forms rather narrow shoulders and wide pelvis. It is necessary for procreation: the human child head is more than of animals one. Therefore nature has provided development the woman with a very low androgene level. The infringement of all these hormone and morphological data is a pathology, and aspiration the woman to approach the constitution to a man's type borders with transsexualism which it is officially considered a pathology. It is no coincidence that homosexualism occur fairly often at such women.
**when one man losses to another man should we question his gender or just assume that one athlete on that day was just better? **
One man and another man are in one a biological category.
**Athletes are athletes male or female they work hard push them selves to the limits in competition. **
Irrespective of a sexr and individual conditions the work of athlete deserves a recognition. What problem?
**Do you know anything about wrestling? Male female Coed? Do you know anything at all about the sport? **
I am 24, sports medicine, and I am in the battle sambo and dju-djutsu, where real co-ed competition is very traumatic for women.
