The International Olympic Committee is recommending the establishment of special medical centres to deal with cases of athletes with ambiguous sexual characteristics.

The IOC wants rules put into place by sports bodies to determine the eligibility to compete on a “case by case” basis for athletes whose gender is called into question.

The IOC organized a two-day conference with medical specialists in Miami to consider guidelines for handling sex verification cases.
