[QUOTE="Big Del, post: 3353458, member: 9291"] In football, FIFAs current gender verification policy dates to 30 May 2011. In June 2012, in advance of the 2012 Summer Olympics , the IOC released [I][B]IOC Regulations on Female Hyperandrogenism[/B][/I][B] [/B]to address these cases. It includes the statement, "Nothing in these Regulations is intended to make any determination of sex. Instead, these Regulations are designed to identify circumstances in which a particular athlete will not be eligible (by reason of hormonal characteristics) to participate in 2012 Olympic Games (OG) Competitions in the female category. In the event that the athlete has been declared ineligible to compete in the female category, the athlete may be eligible to compete as a male athlete, if the athlete qualifies for the male event of the sport."[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports#cite_note-18'][17][/URL] Sex verification tests began in 1950 with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), using physical examinations. "Sex segregation and verification are mutually interdependent because, if there were no claims or basis for having separate male and female sporting events, there would be no need for sex verification testing."[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports#cite_note-Ha_1035%E2%80%931042-9'][8][/URL] The Dutch athlete Foeke as banned for life in July 1950. The International Olympic Committee followed suit in 1968. [B] Initially, women athletes "were asked to parade nude before a panel of doctors".[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports#cite_note-nyt2008-11'][10][/URL] For a period of time these tests were mandatory for female athletes, due to fears that male athletes would pose as female athletes and have an unfair advantage over their competitors.[/B][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports#cite_note-nyt2008-11'][B][10][/B][/URL] [/QUOTE]
