The debate over whether transgender women should compete in female sport continues - with Martina Navratilova saying sorry for using the term 'cheat'.
She had been"vilified" as"transphobic" since her initial comments on the subject
"Needless to say, I have always and will always be a champion of democracy, equal rights, human rights and full protection under the law for everyone. When I talk about sports and rules that must be fair, I am not trying to exclude trans people from living a full, healthy life. Navratilova has been a long-standing campaigner for gay rights and suffered abuse when she came out as gay in the 1980s.
Male to female competitors, however, are required to have kept their levels of testosterone - a hormone that increases muscle mass - below a certain level for at least 12 months."So how do we go forward?" wrote Navratilova."First, we all need to realise that there is no perfect solution in which nobody will ever be wronged or disadvantaged.
