Zitat:It was as a result of Semenya, and the absolutely disastrous handling of that situation, that the policy changed, and until last year, the policy in place said that women could compete only if their testosterone levels were below an upper limit. That upper limit, 10 nmol/L, was set up based on a study done on all the women competing in the World Championships in 2011 and 2013. The researchers took the average testosterone levels of women with a condition called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which was already elevated at 4.5 nmol/L, and then added 5 SD to it.The addition of 3 SD (which created a level of 7.5 nmol/L) would have meant that 16 in 1000 athletes would exceed the cutoff. That’s why the extra 2 SD were added, to make sure that the upper limit would apply only to those with hyperandrogenism (or those who are doping).99% of female athletes, by the way, had testosterone levels below 3.08 nmol/L. So the upper limit of 10 nmol/L was three fold higher than a level that applies to 99 in 100 women participants.Quelle
5 SD = 5 Sigma Standardabweichung s. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardab...verteilung, daher die 99,99994%
Zitat:Wenn der o.g. Wert von 99,99996% stimmt, dann würde man eine Spezialregel mit Nachprüfungsbedarf einführen für einen Fall, der alle paar Jahrhunderte vielleicht 1x eintritt.
