Play the Game 2011 Day 3 Part 3/Cologne 2011 – Gender Session in Video
The second session concerned the “intersex challenge to sport”, a subject with huge consequences for athletes.
About Ljungqvist, Facius and Kidd
Arne Ljungqvist (SWEDEN), Chairman of the IOC Medical Commission asked: “Is there a need for a third sex in sport?” His answer was “no”.Ljungqvist is responsible for the end to “gender verification” in the IAAF and the IOC.
Georg M. Facius (DENMARK), who followed Ljungqvist violently accused him of reinstating gender verification with the new IOC policy on intersex athletes, a claim that Ljungqvist denies, saying that the question is one not of gender verification, but of confirming eligibility of athletes to compete in women’s divisions.
Bruce Kidd (CANADA), an academic and former Olympic athlete, proposed an alternative to current biochemical-based thinking in the form of gender self-declaration.
