The check – often called an SRY check – identifies the Y chromosome, which causes male traits to develop.

If an athlete returns a unfavorable consequence, they’re eligible to compete in feminine classes at world-ranking occasions, together with the World Championships, which start on September 13.

In March, World Athletics permitted the usage of the check and confirmed in late July that the one-time check can be required for athletes to compete after September 1.

In apply, the check is non-invasive, involving a blood check or cheek swab. The SRY check has been known as ‘intercourse testing’ and has been considered as a controversial and divisive measure by some, however a necessity by others arguing for better safety for feminine athletes.

Lord Coe stated: “I can probably say that we’re hitting around about 90 per cent, probably slightly more now, and the objective was always to have those athletes tested.

“The target is to guarantee that, by the point we have now the Championships, they may have all been examined. However the timeframe was tight. We knew that.

“The athletes are overwhelmingly supportive of this and have been very helpful in all this. The member federations have been very supportive and we needed to establish the most effective test.”

Member federations are initially answerable for offering the SRY check – for instance, within the UK it’s UKA/British Athletics that oversees testing.

World Athletics President Lord Coe says the governing body will do 'whatever is necessary' to protect the female category in the sport after it approved the introduction of cheek swabbing to determine if an athlete is biologically female.

In France, the method has been sophisticated by French legislation. SRY gene testing is illegitimate in France because of a 1994 legislation banning DNA testing for non-medical and non-judicial functions to guard household integrity, so French athletes have needed to undertake the SRY check by travelling outdoors of France.

Coe confirmed that, whereas it’s World Athletics’ said purpose to have all athletes examined by the beginning of the World Championships subsequent month, the outcomes don’t have to be recognized because of the tight timeframe.

For athletes whose nationwide federation has not been in a position to provide an SRY check, World Athletics will step in and provide the check at holding camps in Japan utilized by athletes previous to competing in Tokyo.

“By and large, the process has gone pretty smoothly, but it’s not been without its challenges,” stated Coe. “The vast majority have been pretty straightforward and we’ve made a contribution of about $100 (£74) per test.”

Whereas athletics has usually led across the concern of gene testing and different delicate points inside sport, corresponding to DSD (variations of intercourse improvement) and transgender insurance policies, it isn’t the one sport that has launched an SRY check.
