    Probably two of the biggest talking points of this decade which have been ongoing for a long time with the battle between CAS and the IAAF on Hyperandrogenism ongoing for nearly 9 years at this point and the transfer freeze on Nationality going on for the last year and a half but the problem going on for a lot longer. Both will come into effect on the 1st of November this year.

    Hyperandrogenism rules haven't been revealed yet but the framework for the rules on nationality seem to be set as following:

    -a minimum three-year waiting period for athletes wanting to transfer from one country to another

    - the establishment of a review panel that will determine the credibility of applications

    - evidence that countries are offering full citizenship and associated rights

    - the provision that an athlete can transfer only once in their career, and

    - that no transfers take place before the age of 20.

    Hopefully these go a long way to bring back the credibility of both European and World XC which seem to be the most farcically hit but it should do a lot for the sport across a broad range of events.
