Sports Authority of India prepares to argue Chand’s hyperandrogenism case to IAAF
On July 15, Indian sprinter, Dutee Chand, was temporarily banned by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) for hyperandrogenism, preventing her from competing in future national and international events in the female category including the Commonwealth Games and now the Asian Games.1
On August 22, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) advised Chand to take her case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the hope of having the IAAF’s2 and IOC’s3 respective hyperandrogenism regulations amended and her ban lifted.4 It is understood she has not made a decision on this yet.
