Gonads: Dutee

Dutee Chand, an Indian track star, faced a ban in 2014 after failing a gender test. This sparked a controversy about separating males and females in sports, a debate predating her situation. The story focuses on the role of testosterone in determining eligibility for female athletes. This update discusses Dutee's participation in her second Olympic games. The original piece was part of a series called "Gonads." The episode's reporting was done by Molly Webster and Sarah Qari. Production credits go to Pat Walters, Jad Abumrad, and Rachael Cusick. The Gonads theme music was created by Majel Connery and Alex Overington. The piece also acknowledges various contributors and organizations.
