Question for the board....

I believe that most sports associations ban testosterone. What are your thoughts on this athlete being allowed to compete while taking testosterone?

CYPRESS, Texas -- A 17-year-old transgender boy completed an undefeated season Saturday by winning a controversial Texas state girls' wrestling title in an event clouded by criticism from those who believe the testosterone he's taking as he transitions from female to male created an unfair advantage.

Even though I may not understand everything with the LGBTQ community, I try to stay open minded and I am never for anything that is discriminatory for any reason. Therefore sometimes I support some issues on the "liberal" side of things as it pertains to LGBTQ issues even though I may not understand it fully. But in this case, taking testostorone is in my eyes very similar to a substance that should be banned and I don't know if it is in this state for HS athletics or not. The individual should be DQ'd in my eyes.

It would absolutely create an unfair advantage.

I just had this thought of somebody like Elijah Macon declaring himself transgendered for a week and leading Mike Carey's ladies to a stunning upset of UConn.
