World Athletics is moving toward adopting rules that would apply strict transgender rules to people like Caster Semenya .

Previously, athletes with differences in sex development (DSD) had to undergo testosterone-suppression therapy for two years to be eligible for races between 400 meters and one mile .

Now they may be ineligible for any events if they've undergone what World Athletics describes as a male-like puberty that gives them unfair advantages.
