    Transgender athletes and testosterone mess

    PRS #2: Transgender athletes and testosterone mess We’re right after the end of the weirdest Olympic Games, but also the most rainbow-colored Olympic Games in our history. We also had an opportunity to (eventually!) see Laurel Hubbard, the first transgender person to compete in the sex category according to her gender identity, and even though without any medal, she left Tokyo with, impossible to count, signs of support from all around the world. Therefore, I believe it is a good moment to recall a history of testosterone in sport and how it became the underlying issue for transgender athletes. If you want to read more about it, here are the papers to which I refer in this episode: Foster et al.(2014): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/270567341_Modelling_Effects_of_Drug_Testing_Procedures_on_Performance_Trends_in_the_Shot_Put. Patel et. al. (2020): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338330055_007_Trends_in_Serum_Testosterone_Levels_Among_Adolescent_and_Young_Adult_Men_in_the_United_States. Koziara et al.
