Namibia’s Olympic 200m silver medallist Christine Mboma is ready to make her aggressive return after 20 months out.
Tokyo 2020 runner-up Mboma is a feminine athlete classed as having variations in sexual improvement (DSD).
She was dominated out of final 12 months’s World Championships after World Athletics voted to scale back the blood testosterone ranges permitted for DSD athletes.
The 20-year-old has not competed since she gained 200m bronze on the Commonwealth Video games in Birmingham in August 2022.
However organisers say Mboma, who stated final 12 months she was taking testosterone-lowering remedy, will race over 100m on the Kip Keino Traditional in Kenya on 20 April.
Mboma’s coach Henk Botha has stated he was “shocked” by the rule changes for feminine athletes with excessive testosterone which prevented her from competing in Budapest final 12 months.
DSD is a gaggle of uncommon situations, exterior whereby an individual’s hormones, genes and/or reproductive organs could also be a mixture of female and male traits. A few of these affected want the time period “intersex”.
Mboma clocked 21.81 seconds at Tokyo 2020 to take girls’s 200m silver three years in the past behind Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson-Herah.
