NCAA faces calls to follow World Athletics, enact cheek-swab tests to compete in women's sports

The NCAA on Tuesday faced calls to follow in the footsteps of World Athletics and enact gender tests for athletes who want to compete in women’s sports.

World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said cheek-swab tests will be used for athletes who want to compete in the female category. He called the process "very straightforward" and keeping women's sports fair an issue that was "important" to him. 

He added that the tests are not invasive and was ready for any criticism that could come his way.
