NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian sprinter Dutee Chand will aim to qualify for next year’s Olympic Games after a Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision to suspend IAAF rules that could have blocked women with high levels of male hormones from competing.
The 19-year-old Chand told The Associated Press on phone Tuesday that “age was on her side” and she hopes to win several international medals for India.
Chand had been suspended last year due to hyperandrogenism — the presence of high levels of testosterone in some females — which made her ineligible under the rules of the IAAF, the governing body for track and field.
She missed out on last year’s Commonwealth Games and Asian Games but was cleared to compete earlier this year pending a final verdict in her CAS case.
