This was discussed locally on GMA awhile back.

Interesting facts:

There are 2000 men in the world at the moment that could run 100 meters faster than the fastest woman on the planet.

1500 of the top male tennis players in the world could beat Serena Williams.

i, btw, call bullshit on that last one. Serena Williams would destroy a bunch of ranked mens players.

I think the argument needs to be less about how men outperform women (everyone knows that) and more towards whether a hormone to lower testosterone course is 1) sufficient at leveling the playing field, and 2) whether it's even ethical, when it is made a requirement of the sporting body.

When you think about it, it's quite odd to demand an otherwise healthy athlete to meet a certain hormone criteria and go on a particular course in order to qualify. It means doctors have to treat athletes as patients, which many doctors may say is unethical.
