World Athletics president Sebastian Coe announced Tuesday that female track and field athletes will undergo random genetic testing in order to maintain "the integrity of the game."

World Athletics has announced that it will begin genetic testing for all female track and field athletes in the future, according to the Washington Post. The new policy could have an impact on Olympic athletes in the near future.

World Athletics plans to introduce biological pre-clearance tests for track and field athletes before they can compete in the female category, the sport’s governing body announced Tuesday.
