Is 'sanity' making a comeback?
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova called World Athletics' ban on transgender women competing in the female category a 'step in the right direction' to creating a level playing field.
The 66-year-old, who recently confirmed she had beaten breast and throat cancer, said the world is 'finally waking up' and called an open category where all genders could compete together.
Under new rules announced by Sebastian Coe, the governing body's president, transgender women will be banned from competing in the female category at international athletics events in order to 'prioritise fairness and the integrity of the female competition before inclusion'.
