Sports scientist Professor Ross Tucker: “And the only conclusion you can then draw is that the person still has male advantage even when their testosterone is lower.”Valentina Petrillo, born Fabrizio Petrillo, will compete in the female T12 classification at the Paralympic Games in Paris.Petrillo is the first transgender athlete in the Paralympic Games.
The rules go on to say that “World Para Athletics will deal with any cases involving transgender athletes in accordance with the International Olympic Committee’s transgender guidelines and any applicable World Para Athletics regulations.”In 2023, Petrillo won two bronze medals at the Para Athletics World Championships, competing against females.
Eriksson added, “It’s a cop-out not to make a stance in support of women in sport. It feels kind of like they are trying to push the blame onto the IOC,” Eriksson says. “They adapted World Athletics rules and should also adopt the World Athletics regulation on transgender and DSD participation.” From public info, the ages of the 3 female athletes are 31 , 25 and 27 . Petrillo is 49. How many 49-year old females would win medals at world level?Sports scientist Professor Ross Tucker said: “Male advantage is created through development and so it is essentially laid down over years and years of exposure to testosterone. The solution that sport has tried to come up with is to say well if the source of that advantage is testosterone then let’s lower it and then the athlete is free to compete.
