"For 15 years, the International Association of Athletics Federations
(IAAF) has apparently been quietly contacting women track-and-field
athletes with high testosterone levels and issuing an ultimatum: Have
gonads and possibly part of the clitoris removed or take medication to
reduce testosterone levels…or don’t compete."

Disgusting.  Shame on the IAAF.  Via Heiko Ludwig and Peter da Silva.

Cheers,
