World Athletics Adds Gene Testing To Sports, Because Why Not?
In a move that sounds like science fiction but is actually happening, World Athletics is now requiring female athletes to take a gene test to qualify for the female category. Setting a strict deadline of September 1 for the Tokyo Championships, officials stated, 'All athletes must comply with the gene eligibility criteria to compete.' Apparently, running fast isnât enough; now you gotta prove your DNA isnât on the wrong team. Which begs the question: are they checking for speed genes or a sci-fi scriptwriterâs imagination?

(1 of 3)World Athletics just turned female athletics into a science experiment, demanding gene tests by September 1. Because apparently, running fast isn't enough; now you gotta pass a DNA pop quiz. Nothing says 'sport' like a side of CRISPR.
Nothing screams fair play like mandatory gene testing. Next up: Breathalyzer at the starting line. Can't wait for the 'Are you a robot?' screening.
World Athletics forcing gene tests for women is like Hogwarts asking for magical blood confirmation before quidditch. Spoiler alert: Muggle biology might get benched.
