As I asked the other sceptical commenter: how exactly would you explain XY karyotype, testosterone levels in the male range, and male-typical physique - other than by the athletes being male?

Also, we know that these three were deemed ineligible for future events under the revised World Athletics DSD policy which was developed with the intent of excluding male physical advantage from women's competitions.

Semenya's DSD (5-alpha reductase deficiency) is public knowledge due to the Court of Arbitration for Sport publishing a ruling revealing this. This is a DSD that only affects male sexual development, not female.
