Category: Woman focuses on four athletes from the Global South who were forced out of competition by regulations that deem women with naturally high androgen levels to have a performance advantage. The International Amateur Athletics Federation (now World Athletics) ruled that in order to compete, these female athletes must medically alter their healthy bodies. These regulations came at the heels of Caster Semenya’s bursting onto the world stage in 2009. The South African runner’s victories were overshadowed by doubt and her personal medical records leaked to international media.
