Richards qualifies as female under tennis rules after lab tests
Dr Renee Richards, a transsexual tennis player, qualifies as a woman under international rules after three independent analyses of her cells at Antaeus Laboratory. The tests indicate 24 percent Barr bodies, meeting the threshold used to govern women’s participation in major tournaments. Richards, 42, welcomed the result to enter events like the French Italian Wimbledon, though she noted it alters her psychological edge.
