Published July 17, 2021 Like the proverbial whack-a-mole, the Olympic sex test keeps coming back with disastrous effects for women athletes across the globe no matter how many times athletes and human rights’ advocates think they have abolished it. The test was introduced in the 1930s to weed out “abnormal women athletes” from the Olympics. The first test was a physical examination. During the 1960s, when women began to object to the test’s “nude parades,” the official response was not abolition, but replacement by hormone analysis. Feminists, athletes, geneticists, ethicists, and national governments protested, but it took until the 1990s when the International Amateur Athletic Federation (now known as World Athletics) and the International Olympic Committee ended the test.
