NEW DELHI: Dutee Chand was just 18 when she came across a battle she never thought she would have to fight. She was India's U-18 100m champion then, in absolute love with what she was doing, and more importantly, for who she was. But a medical test turned her life upside down.
In July of 2014, when the teenager in Dutee was knitting dreams to run at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games (CWG), a tumultuous development literally sent her off 'track'. Her body was tested and found to be producing testosterone in a range associated mostly with male bodies -- a condition called hyperandrogenism.
