My bad for not being very specific.

Heinrich formerly Dora Ratjen is the most famous example, he identified as a man later in life but was raised as a girl/woman and competed with females.  He was both anatomically and hormonally intersex. Yea, and when found out was stripped of the world record returning it to Dorothy Tyler-Odam.

Castor Semenya is a recent example.  She has male hormones but female body parts.
Once again after being found out the following occurred.
In 2019, new IAAF (World Athletics) rules came into force for athletes like Semenya with certain disorders of sex development (DSDs) requiring medication to suppress testosterone levels in order to participate in 400m, 800m, and 1500m women's events. Semenya objected to undergoing the treatment which is now mandatory.


We should assume there are other examples that never became public. Why? you are welcome to assume but that is not proof.

Men develop an additional layer of muscle which does not go away.  How is that fair?  It is not.  

A new broom always sweeps clean.
