2015: Dutee Chand vs AFI and IAAF: Getting dropped from National selection after claims of hyperandrogenism, rendering her ineligible to compete in women’s events, Dutee approached CAS. It removed her suspension and gave the AFI and IAAF two years to provide evidence that hyperandrogenism gave a significant advantage.
