WTA Mandates SRY Gene Test for Eligibility
WTA mandates one-time SRY gene test effective immediately. Coco Gauff voices nuanced support, balancing fairness with concern over trans community attacks. Sabalenka also backs the policy. Pegula provides player council context. Navratilova supports, Billie Jean King opposes. No known trans players on tour. Testing begins at Cincinnati. This is a defining moment for women's sports governance.
