📖 Key Information
Sex verification in sports (also known as gender verification, gender determination, or a sex test) consists of tests conducted to determine an athlete's eligibility for sporting events that are restricted to women or for mixed-sex competitions with specific gender requirements. Practice has varied tremendously over time, across borders and by competitive level. Issues have arisen multiple times in the Olympic games and other high-profile sporting competitions, for example allegations that certain male athletes attempted to compete as women or that certain female athletes had intersex conditions perceived to give unfair advantage.
