World record-holding sprint hurdler Tobi Amusan and several other top female athletes will now be subjected to a mandatory genetic gender test before participating in the 2025 World Championships scheduled to take place in Tokyo, Japan.

According to new eligibility regulations released by World Athletics, every athlete competing in the female category must undergo a one-time genetic verification process to confirm their biological sex. This directive will take effect from September 1, 2025, and is part of a broader effort by the governing body to enforce stricter gender eligibility guidelines in international competitions.

The updated rule has sparked global conversations around fairness, privacy, and inclusion in elite women’s sports.
