In 2012, Ugandan 800m runner Annet Negesa (1.59.08) was withdrawn from the Olympics because she had naturally high levels of testosterone.
She says she felt obliged to undergo surgery to comply with the IAAF hyperandrogenism regulations.

Negesa underwent a gonadectomy/castration back home in Uganda performed by another doctor.
Negesa says she was proposed this surgery.
2/
Bermon has also defended gonadectomies, a procedure which has been"demonized by bioethics brokers who cogitate in their beautiful Stanford offices"

So who was the doctor who Annet Negesa claims proposed her surgery?
Negesa also never received the essential after care needed after such an operation.

Another athlete, I spoke to with @olga_koeln in our ARD documentary, now has osteoporosis after she too received no follow up support from the doctors who dealt with her.
