Comunicazioni ISU per la stagione 2021/2022

Criteria
The following criteria must be followed when determining eligibility to compete in male and female
competition:
 Those who transition from female to male are eligible to compete in the male category without
restriction, provided that a written and signed declaration, that his gender identity is male, is given
to the ISU. The ISU will issue a written certificate to validate the Skater's eligibility to compete as
a Man in the Competition as defined above.
For the avoidance of doubt, a female-to-male Transgender Skater will not be eligible to participate in
the Women’s category in these Competitions once they have commenced hormone treatment.
 Those who transition from male-to-female are eligible to compete in the female category under the
following conditions:
I. The Skater has declared that her gender identity is female. The declaration cannot be
changed, for sporting purposes, for a minimum of four years.
The Skater must demonstrate that her total testosterone level in serum has been below 5
nmol/L continuously for at least 12 months prior to her first competition (with the requirement
for any longer period to be based on a confidential case-by-case evaluation, considering
whether or not 12 months is a sufficient length of time to minimize any advantage in Women’s
competition).
II. If the above eligibility conditions have been met, the ISU will issue a written certificate to
validate the Skater's eligibility to compete as a Woman in the Competitions as defined
above.
i. The Skater's total testosterone level in serum must remain below 5nmol/L throughout the
period of desired eligibility to compete in the Women’s category.
ii. Compliance with these conditions may be monitored by testing. In the event of noncompliance, the Skater’s eligibility for Women’s competition will be suspended for 12 months.
Monitoring
The ISU may monitor a Skater's compliance with the Transgender eligibility conditions at any time,
with or without notice, whether by random or targeted testing of the Skater's serum testosterone levels
(and the Skater agrees to provide serum samples for this purpose, and also agrees that any samples
provided for anti-doping purposes and/or any anti-doping data relating to her may also be used for this purpose), or by any other appropriate means.
