Doriane Lambelet Coleman, the 800m-runner-turned-academic, talks to Jonathan Kay about the Court of Arbitration for Sport's rejection of Caster Semenya's appeal. As a result of the decision, Semenya will not be able to compete in women's middle distance events unless she chemically alters her testosterone level.

In this episode, Doriane Lambelet Coleman, Professor of Law at Duke Law School, discusses her article "Sex in Sport," which was published in a special issue of Law and Contemporary Problems devoted to the subject of sex in sport. Coleman begins by discussing the differences between sex and gender and why the distinction is relevant in the elite sports space. She goes on to detail the rationale for the women’s category in elite sport, why it’s necessary for eligibility standards to be based in sex-specific biological traits rather than in how a person identifies, and the role testosterone plays in this context. She concludes with some thoughts about alternative policy choices sport could make, including about how events are designed, so that eligibility standards wouldn’t need to be based on sex or gender; and about different approaches to eligibility for education-based (as opposed to elite) sport. Coleman's scholarship is available on SSRN.This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye.
