The solution is what it used to be. If you have elevated testosterone levels you do not compete against women.

Per this article, the Olympics no longer test for testosterone levels...who thought that would be a good idea?? Intersex/hermaphrodism is very rare, Olympics have male and female competitions. If you are unfortunate enough to have an intersex condition, you should compete in the class you most closely resemble in terms of physiology, i.e. testosterone levels and chromosomes, or else you don’t compete. Anyone who has to artificially lower their testosterone levels in order to qualify for women’s competition should also not be allowed to compete. Not your fault, not anybody’s fault, but sometimes life is not fair.

Since they are no longer testing for testosterone levels, however, I predict many of the women’s competitions are shortly going to become absolutely ridiculous before they either self destruct or testing is reinstated.

Are there actual women athletes who don’t have anything abnormal or intersex about them but who just produce abnormally high levels of testorone?
