I could see the moral justification to taking something to stay just under the legal limit, sort of like masters runners taking things for other medical conditions. The rise of Hiltz since coming out as sometimes a dude in the past few years makes this question relevant. Maybe not testosterone, which is fundamentally I don’t believe can have any minimal TUE, but I wonder if anything else. Hiltz wasn’t this good as just a girl.

The last 100 reminded me a ton of seeing a few of my male HS teammates finish a 1600. Their form looked completely different than either of the other 2 women Hiltz was running against. Seems like her legs don't go "in" as much - narrower pelvis
Nikki Hiltz finds another gear down the final stretch to set the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials record in the 1500m with a time of 3:55.33, guaranteeing...
Testosterone counts as a legal TUE for biological female athletes who identify as male. But I don't know if this is for them competing in men's or women's events
She has said she wants to take testosterone to 'affirm her gender' but that she "can't while competing". Hopefully she is sticking to the rules. Stating such a thing does raise some eyebrows though.

Jesus Christ. Fun fact: when you run a PR, you are indeed the best you've ever been in your entire life, and it is 100% a fact that you "weren't that good" before running the new PR! It's truly incredible how men, women, and non-binary people alike can get progressively faster through dedicated training and sharpening their tactical skills over the span of years. Some people even progress to the point of making an Olympic team!

Under the rules she cannot have a T level that exceeds 5nmol. Most women have levels from 0.6-2.9nmol. However testosterone is a banned drug so she can't use it legally. But most athletes know how to mask drug use now.

Some even knock off 6 seconds over 1500 in 5 years as they approach 30.
I grew up with gender dysphoria and my suspicions is not out of bigotry. I thought they just looked more boyish than usual almost like Galen Rupp and I think it is ok to have some level of suspicion for someone to run a 3:55. All great performances should welcome some level of suspicion.

Nikki recognises the enormous disadvantage they'd be at if they transitioned and competed against men (it would end their career) but refuses to acknowledge the advantage transwomen have when competing against women! Enormous hypocrite!

Thanks for posting this. I saw Hiltz run up close today. They are built like a bantam weight young runner guy. I was going to start a thread asking how I go about losing all my body fat and curves while maintaining speed and upper body muscle mass. Is it possible for a female to do that without medication? If they’re doing it with training and diet only, what are the details?

She does lift almost every day, does speedwork all year, and more mileage than she ever has.
The reason for Hiltz’s improvement since gender identity transition is because now they’ve simply got that dog in them, which comes along with being / acting like a dude. Hear me out;
Their T levels went up by telling themself daily they don’t feel like a woman. You ever get a nice haircut or wear a cool outfit and feel like the man? Your confidence and T go up a little bit. Same thing happens for them on a daily basis. The power of the mind should not be underestimated and I fully support it. We need more women gaining this edge.

The mass doping is strong with the americans. Thered be no track and field there,if they all got caught.
