With the voices of people around the world who have supported Dutee’s right to run, the Sports Authority of India just told her she should rejoin the training camp Centre of Excellence at Patiala.

But we’re not done. Dutee still cannot compete.

12 August 2015. Victory! Dutee Chand is on the run again! Today, the 19-year-old Indian sprinter has rightfully reclaimed her eligibility for competition following an historic ruling from the Lausanne-based Court of Arbitration for Sport suspending controversial regulations governing females with naturally-occurring higher testosterone (hyperandrogenism).

This is a major victory for the rights of athletes and means that women may now compete regardless of their natural testosterone levels and without being subjected to invasive screening or medical intervention. “I was humiliated for something that I can’t be blamed for,” said Dutee, who had been suspended. “I am glad that no other female athlete will have to face what I have faced, thanks to this verdict.”

Dutee wants to thank all of you who supported her petition here on change.org. You—and your voices of support—made a real difference to this young woman and will continue to make a difference for athletes across the globe.

Thank you!
