Testosterone in Daily Mail

Bit of a weedy article but at least continuing the discussion -

www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6830651/Controversial-testosterone-rule-female-athletes-unscientific-experts-warn.html

This bit annoyed me as it could be misinterpreted and surely the journo could have looked at some basic data on male advantage in sport -

"But Dr Tannenbaum and Dr Bekker said a link between testosterone levels and medal-winning ability has never been proven.
And they say there are other ways women could have biological advantages even if their testosterone levels are within the limit – although these are not explained"

Significantly more detailed than the Guardian version: www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/mar/20/testosterone-limits-for-female-athletes-not-backed-by-science-say-academics

The Guardian article was a masterpiece in obfuscation.

The DM piece is a confused mishmash, I would deconstruct it but I haven't got all day.
