The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has issued an Interim Award inthe arbitration procedure between the Indian athlete Dutee Chand, the Athletics Federation of India(AFI) and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
The CAS Panel in charge of the procedure (The Hon. Justice Annabelle Claire Bennett AO, Australia(President), Prof. Richard H. McLaren, Canada, and Dr Hans Nater, Switzerland) has suspended the"IAAF Regulation Governing Eligibility of Females with Hyperandrogenism to Compete in Women’sCompetition" (the "Hyperandrogenism Regulations") for a maximum period of two years in order togive the IAAF the opportunity to provide the CAS with scientific evidence about the quantitativerelationship between enhanced testosterone levels and improved athletic performance inhyperandrogenic athletes. In the absence of such evidence, the CAS Panel was unable to conclude that
hyperandrogenic female athletes may benefit from such a significant performance advantage that it isnecessary to exclude them from competing in the female category. While the HyperandrogenismRegulations are suspended, Ms Dutee Chand is permitted to compete in both national and internationallevel athletics events. Should the IAAF not file any scientific evidence within the two-year periodgranted by the CAS Panel, the Hyperandrogenism Regulations will be declared void.
The Interim Award is published in full on the CAS website: www.tas-cas.org/en/jurisprudence/recentdecisions
