It is for domestic national governing bodies of individual sports to determine their own rules regarding the eligibility of athletes, including hyperandrogenous athletes, to compete in the UK.
Similarly, all sports which compete internationally must comply with their international federation rules at that level, with the rules determined by the relevant international federation.
