- Ruling applies to athletes who have transitioned after puberty
- Levels of permitted plasma testosterone also reduced by half
World Athletics has confirmed that its council has voted to exclude transgender women from female events.
The ruling, which will be enforced from 31 March this year, applies to elite competition transgender athletes who have transitioned from male to female after going through puberty. The council also voted to cut the maximum amount of plasma testosterone for athletes with differences in sex development (DSD) in half, to 2.5 nanomoles per litre from five.
