[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3623566, member: 15054"] I read in the Olympics the testosterone level to compete as a female must be below 10 nanomoles per liter. Lots of reading on that. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5570685/[/URL] I feel 10 is a bit high as normal for a women and men is below. Doctors measure testosterone in nanomoles per litre (nmol/l) and the reported “normal” healthy range in males is anywhere from [URL='https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/4/1161/2884621']9.2 to 31.8 nmol/L[/URL]. It is about ten times lower in females, with “normal” levels considered to be between [URL='https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-catalog/Clinical+and+Interpretive/83686']0.3 and 2.4 nmol/L[/URL]. Despite these lower levels in women, testosterone circulates in the blood at higher concentrations than oestrogen, the typical female hormone. Taken from here. [URL unfurl="true"]https://theconversation.com/testosterone-why-defining-a-normal-level-is-hard-to-do-113587[/URL] I think closer to 5 would be normal and a bit high for a female but I do not know how high an athletic strong real woman would have. I do not think competing should be solely based on that testosterone level. If you were female when born you should be eligible to compete as a woman. But sometimes they are not. Which you can find out in the first link. :) [/QUOTE]
