India’s Dutee Chand faces fresh uncertainty in her athletics career after the world athletics body said on Tuesday it will challenge a two-year-old order on hyperandrogenism that allowed the sprinter to return to international competition. However, Dutee Chand approached the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which in an interim verdict in July, 2015 suspended the IAAF’s hyperandrogenism regulations for two years, allowing Dutee to compete again. Dr Bermon has been a member of the IAAF and IOC working groups on hyperandrogenic female athletes and transgender athletes while Dr Garnier is the director of the IAAF Health and Science Department. “None of the athletes preparing for the world championships will be effected by the development,” he said. Dutee stays calmDutee, however, didn’t appear to be flustered as she trained in Bhubaneswar’s Kalinga Stadium on Tuesday.
