On Transgender athletes and performance advantages

Ross · 24 Mar 2019 ·

Ok, here goes. I’ve been meaning to write this for a while, but time and energy have not allowed it. But I’ve just been involved in some lively Twitter discussions, ultimately productive, so I’m going to try to share some thoughts around this issue of transgender females (male-to-female transitioning people) competing in women’s sport. It’s […]

4-bullet Friday: More on the age-elite athlete thing, you all rock, plus “My most interesting” links for you

Ross · 08 Feb 2019 ·

Real quick-fire today, with some links and things I found interesting this week: [ribbon toplink=true]1. The elite athlete and age: Follow up on my last post[/ribbon] On Wednesday, I wrote a short thought on whether the conventional wisdom around how elite athletes “expire” and fade with age may be outdated. Seems to me that we […]

NUDGE: A data-driven attempt at reducing concussion risk in rugby. A process explained

Ross · 16 Oct 2018 ·

Rugby, like many contact sports, faces a concussion issue. Over the last three years, I have been involved in research and subsequent law change and education to attempt to reduce concussion risk in the sport. In this article, I explain, step by step, what that process has involved and why certain decisions were made.

Letter to BJSM reinforcing call for retraction of IAAF research on testosterone in women

Ross · 02 Aug 2018 ·

Along with two prominent scientists, we have recently called for the research study on testosterone’s effects in women athletes to be retracted. This research is part of the IAAF’s policy on hyperandrogenism in athletics, but we have analyzed aspects of the study, and discovered significant and numerous errors. This article describes those errors, and calls for scientific integrity and transparency from both the IAAF and the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
