01:00When we first went to the Olympics, they used to do too many tests.

01:03They used to do the test for doping and hormone levels.

01:06They used to do the test for gender.

01:08How do they attend the Olympics?

01:12First it is the competition, then the test, then the Olympics…

01:16The IOC has not given any complaint that it is a male…

01:20So how can this girl question me?

01:22Today this girl lost, that's why she's questioning me.

01:25If she had won, she wouldn't have questioned me.

01:28If I had asked the question, then it would have been a game of the mind that who has to be accused and who has to lose.

01:35It is easy to accuse someone for raising a question on their gender.

01:38But it takes a lot of time to prove yourself.

01:40And before it can be proved, people will start taunting him.

01:46From social media to press media, the media is talking about him.

01:50So his reputation will be ruined.

01:52When I was selected for the Commonwealth Games, I was removed from the team.

01:56There was a lot of talk in the media that Dutty has been gender-tested.

02:00That he is not a girl, he is a boy.

02:02That's why he can't play in the women's category.

02:04A lot of news went viral like this.

02:06And at that time, the biggest problem was to live a normal life in society.

02:10But wherever he went, a lot of media used to send him.

02:12A lot of people used to come forward to question him.

02:16There was a lot of trouble at that time.

02:17Look, it is easy to accuse someone.

02:19But it is very difficult to prove it.

02:21Like I said, if you accuse me that Dutty's gender is male,

02:25it took me two years to prove it.

02:27I spent a lot of money.

02:29I had to be humiliated a lot.

02:31After a lot of hard work, I proved to the world that I am a female.

02:34I fought that whatever hormone level I have, it has been produced properly naturally in my body.

02:39I have not used any foreign drugs or medicines.

02:41And this hormone has never given me an advantage in playing.

02:45So after all the hard work I have done, I have achieved success today.

02:49So I challenged him.
