Kudos to transwoman Joanna Harper for debating the science around male performance advantage in trans-athletes. Listen to the interview when it's broadcast on Saturday 9th between 10-11am on @bbcworldservice

Yep, 8 sub-elite mid/distance runners. This is what people mean when they say ‘The IOC looked at ALL THE DATA, listen to them’.
Is that supposed to be a serious study!? If so, it's utterly bonkers. Eg, we don't know anything about respective training loads before the 2 races. Or anything about a myriad of other potentially confounding variables.

I don't think I've ever seen such high p values quoted in a published study! p=1 means data is no more than random chance. p<0.05 is valid result. The Harper study is recording p values of 0.84 and 0.68!! https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/1e6a/bd2c1e03ba88e9ac8da94ea1d69ff3f4878a.pdf?_ga=2.254440527.659551599.1550520323-1192624875.1550520323 …pic.twitter.com/Twp4KfJA72

Yes, but they're trying to make the point there isn't a significant difference. That's a win for them.
