Well calling them cheats and men who "decide" to be woman was a bit tactless.
This is a bit more considerate:
Professor of physiology says transgender athletes have advantage in speed, power
Quote:
"There has been very little research into elite male to female transgender athletes.
"It hasn't been studied, but logical science will tell you someone who has three times more testosterone has the advantage physically. We need to do more research before arguing either way.
"Whether this normalising of hormone levels (and at 10 NMOL/L it is debatable whether they are normalised enough) removes the vast majority of the advantage of having been male is still an unanswered question."
