Over 50 high-profile sporting identities and former Olympians have signed an open letter urging the Government to rethink the guiding principles for transgender athletes participating in sports. The letter claims Sport New Zealand's guidelines disregard the rights of female athletes and go against scientific evidence. Former Olympian Dave Gerrard says allowing athletes to compete under self-identification ignores the science - and dismisses female athletes. "I'm not, for one moment, trying to exclude transgender individuals from participating - I'm just trying to get some logic to this. How far do you allow somebody to go?"

I am trying to work out just where the FINA decision around trans athlete participation at elite level fits, as far as far-reaching decisions go.It would be right up there because the reaction has been extraordinary. Emily Seebohm, an Australian Olympic great, talked of the relief given her and so many of her colleagues have been afraid to speak out.A sport they have loved and dedicated their lives to upended by something they could never have seen coming. Imagine being afraid to speak out, what does that say about the sport you love?We have bent over backwards to root out bullying and harassment in sport. But on gender, we were weak and woke.It is also, it seems, a catalyst decision. A decision that gives other governing bodies permission to be honest. Biology beats gender was one summation. Isn't it amazing how simple the thought process can be when you have perceived clearance to actually act the way so many have clearly wanted to?But instead, what we have had to this point is a mess of indecision, compromise, and made-up nonsense trying to accommodate everyone and offend no one.Thanks to FINA and swimming, this might just be the tipping point.The Conservatives in Britain have been immersed in this debate for a while, so politically it's a win. The Sports and Culture Secretary, Nadine Dorries, hopes this encourages other sports to be decisive and act.New Zealand, who voted at the FINA meeting for the decision, say the science is clear.The FINA vote got 71 percent support. Why has it taken this long to be this decisive?Dave Gerrard, who represented us and has been in sport his whole life, a lot of it at the highest level, said the evidence is overwhelming. Yes, it is. And yet look how long it took to work that out.Look at how we handled the Laurel Hubbard issue. The difference I suspect was Hubbard wasn't that good, so we hoped we could pretend it wasn't a problem.This latest decision from FINA is a result of American Lia Thomas. An unremarkable male swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, but as a female won the NCAA Championship. They couldn't let this get to the highest of high levels and so they have acted.Not everyone will be happy. But here is the cold hard truth, most will. Because FINA did what others should have done from the start, the right thing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The decision by the international swimming body to ban trans women from female competition is massive.As far as I can tell, this is the first sports body to outright ban trans women from competing against biological women.Other sporting bodies have tried to do it by mucking around with testosterone rules but this the first decision where they simply say no.I've got to applaud it.That can't have been an idea decision to make because no one wants to be unkind to trans women.No one wants to exclude them.But there are two competing values here: inclusion and fairness.I honestly believe most good people want to include trans women but they also want to be fair.And these two values inclusion and fairness clash with each other when it comes to trans women in sports because including trans-women is not fair on biological women.Who are we kidding?  It's not a fair competition.  Male bodies are stronger than female bodies.Dave Gerrard is a former Olympic swimmer, an Emeritus Professor of Sports Medicine at Otago University and the vice-chairman of the Sports Medicine Committee for the international swimming body and he thinks it's not fair on women.As he points out, 14 and 15 year old boys in the states are running times and in one case swimming times that would win Olympic gold medals by the best women athletes in the world.I worry about the other parts of this decision.FINA - the governing body - is setting up an open category for trans women to compete in but I worry that there won't be enough athletes to make it actually work and I really want it to.And FINA will allow trans women to compete if they transition from male to female before age 12 and I worry that will incentivise some kids to do it at that age and that's way too early to make lifelong decision like that.But as for having the courage to say no trans women cannot compete against mostly weaker and slower women? No doubt that's the right call and a brave one.

The world's swimming governing body has banned trans women from competing in female competitions.Trans women are only allowed to compete if they started transitioning before the age of 12.Instead FINA is going to create an open category for trans women to compete in.FINA Sports Medicine Committee vice-chair Dr Dave Gerrard joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.LISTEN ABOVE

There isn't much Professor Dave Gerrard hasn't done when it comes to the Olympic Games, having attended the first Tokyo Olympics in 1964 as an athlete. This time he is a medical commissioner for Fina. He's with us from Tokyo.

Over 40 athletes have signed a petition to the government requesting further negotiation around a more definitive transgender sports policy.Former New Zealand representatives Barbara Kendall, Danyon Loader, Lorraine Moller and Dave Gerrard are among those to put pen to paper.Sport New Zealand boss Raelene Castle says they want to develop a more level playing field, particularly in regard to women's elite competition.Castle says there a considerable difference between rugby and bowls, for example.Labour MP and former Women's Rugby League player Louisa Wall told Heather du Plessis-Allan that she was consulted on drafting the policies, and they are seeking wide consultation.However, the goal is to find ways to find the nuances around different codes and how transition and puberty has an effect. "The guidelines are really being about putting a stake in the ground about sport being a public good that everyone has a right to access, including trans people."She says that this is about finding guidelines at the community level that work for everyone. "Everyone deserves to be involved in this conversation, but it needs to be a rational conversation based on principles that sport and recreation as a sector is a public good that everyone should have an opportunity to access and participate in."Wall says there have never been any restrictions on transgender men, so the policies will focus on transgender women. LISTEN ABOVE

A group of forty world-class athletes putting their names to a letter to the Prime Minister and the Minister for Sport over what to do with transgender athletes in sport. They want wider consultation on a draft policy Sport NZ has sent out to rainbow groups, proposing ways to allow trans women athletes to compete against biological females at club and community level.Olympic gold medallists Danyon Loader and Barbara Kendall are among the signatories, alongside former Olympic swimmer and sports medicine specialist, Professor Dave Gerrard - who says safety can't make way for inclusion.He told Tim Dower he says the debate should look at the "irrefutable" evidence that any transgender female athlete who transitions after male puberty is at a "decided advantage" on the sports field. He says there is a lot of emotion drawn into this, and the rainbow community should not feel threatened. "It is not a transphobia statement. It is really a question of fairness." Gerrard wants to look at the number of transgender athletes that are likely to involve, and administer a process that allows them to be included in sport but not where it might be at the risk of safety to others. He does not think there should be a separate transgender class at the Olympics as there are not enough athletes to warrant it. LISTEN ABOVE

An Olympic veteran is confident that the Tokyo Olympics can still go ahead. The Tokyo Olympic torch relay is being pulled off the streets in Hiroshima prefecture as COVID-19 cases rise in Japan barely 10 weeks before the opening ceremony.Hiroshima Governor Hidehiko Yuzaki said that a ceremony next week without the relay is likely to still take place. This is at least the sixth change to the relay — from rerouting to cancellation — in the last several weeks.Organizers warned before the relay began that changes and delays were expected in the face of the pandemic."It is certain there will be no relay on public streets since we are all trying to reduce going out, and how to do the ceremony without the relay on the streets is still being discussed with the organizers," Yuzaki said Monday.Japan has attributed about 11,000 deaths to COVID-19, but new cases of the virus and its variants are now increasing in Tokyo and the second largest metropolitan area of Osaka.Dr Dave Gerrard, who represented New Zealand at the Olympics in swimming, went on to become Chef de Mission at the 1996 Summer Olympics and as a Senior Medical Commissioner. He joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to discuss why he thinks the Games can still be held safely - and why vaccines are the key to the event going ahead.LISTEN ABOVE

The New Zealand Olympic committee is being urged to make it compulsory for athletes going to the Tokyo Games to be vaccinated against Covid-19. The government is offering early access to vaccination to top athletes travelling overseas to represent New Zealand. Former New Zealand team doctor Dave Gerrard says Olympic officials need to take a stronger line. Sports editor Stephen Hewson reports.

The Japanese government has privately decided to cancel the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, a new report claims.The report in The Times reveals Japan has given up on any hope of hosting the Games and will now look for hosting rights to the 2032 Games instead.In a day of high drama, the report was immediately denied by both New Zealand and Australian Olympic officials.The 2020 Olympics was pushed back to 2021 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, but authorities rescheduled with a start date of July 23.The report, citing a senior government official, revealed there is agreement within the ruling coalition the pandemic has made it impossible for the world's biggest sporting event to go ahead."No one wants to be the first to say so, but the consensus is that it's too difficult," the source said, according to Reuters."Personally I don't think it's going to happen."Publicly, organisers are still adamant the Games can go ahead, and say they can be held safely even if the virus is not under control."It's precisely because we're in this situation that we need to remember the value of the Olympics — that humankind can co-exist peacefully through sport," Tokyo Organising Committee CEO Toshiro Muto told AFP.However, the New Zealand Olympic Committee rubbished the report, saying organisers are committed to holding the Games this year."Both the Japanese Government and the IOC have this week strongly reaffirmed their commitment to the Tokyo Olympic Games taking place in July and August this year," an NZOC spokesperson said."The focus of the NZOC remains on preparing our athletes and wider team for the Olympic Games in this unprecedented environment."Australian Olympic Committee chef de mission for the 2021 Games Ian Chesterman also insisted the report was nothing more than a rumour when speaking on radio Friday."It's unfortunate that our athlete's have to deal with this rumour mill," he told Triple M.The AOC also released a statement insisting the preliminary plans for a joint Queensland bid to host the 2032 Games have not been impacted by the report of the Tokyo Games moving to 2032."The AOC is continuing its planning to ensuring the Australian Olympic Team arrives in Tokyo, competes and returns home safe and COVID-free," the statement claims."The AOC, Federal Government, Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council are continuing to progress the candidature for the Olympic Games to be held in Queensland in 2032 — and that process continues."The cancellation would be a heartbreaking blow for thousands of athletes around the world.It is also a heavy blow for Japan with budget documents from a Japanese government audit last month reportedly revealing estimates the Games could cost taxpayers up to $33 billion. It was forecast to be the most expensive Olympics in the movement's history — and there now seems no way for the country to see a return on its investment.Japan's opposition leaders have this week piled further pressure on the Suga government to cancel or delay the Games, The Japan Times reports.Yuichiro Tamaki, head of the Democratic Party for the People, said it was "difficult" to hold the Games at all.Japanese Communist Party leader Kazuo Shii also demanded the Games be cancelled and for resources to be diverted to battling the pandemic.It follows a turbulent week for Olympic officials after senior Olympic figures around the world admitted it was impossible for the event to go ahead amid current global travel restrictions.Tokyo and other parts of Japan are currently under a state of emergency to quash a surge in virus infections, and polls indicate that public support for the Olympics has plunged.Opinion polls show that 80 per cent of Japanese are against the Games going ahead in July and August.During the pandemic, Japan has recorded 347,000 virus infections with almost 90,000 in Tokyo alone. There have been around 4700 deaths.Keith Mills, who was deputy chairman of the London 2012 organising committee, sai...

Cookie-Dough Guest Mix 28 with Dave Gerrard Welcome to the Cookie-Dough Guest mix where we invite some of favourite DJ / Producers to answer a few questions and dig deep into their collections and put together a mix of their favourite records. For this episode we have invited DJ, Producer and edit man Dave Gerrard to put together a mix of records that have influenced him over the years! This is one for the house heads. Nice one Dave! A few words from Dave... Nostalgia for me is a powerful emotion triggered, on occasion by music. My track choices are for this reason. Hearing these tracks fire up memories ranging from being in the back of a car, a night at the Hacienda or maybe a warehouse party in Blackburn. Upon hearing the track it’s as if I’m teleported back in time to that moment. This music is from my past, and I consider myself extremely lucky to have been around to experience the birth of Chicago and Acid house, enabling me to travel the length and breadth of the UK, experiencing different clubs, music and above all the excitement that everyone was feeling witnessing how this new music was changing things. So here it is, my mix, a tricky thing to put together because, at the time most of these tracks were made, the term DJ friendly wasn’t a term widely used. Lots of early house a couple and I had to include one of my very first edits also. This is some of the music that made me. Track List Mr Fingers-Can U Feel It. Adonis-No Way Back (Greg Wilson Edit) Orbital-Chime Joe Smooth-Promised Land Marshall Jefferson-Move Your Body South Street Player-[Who] Keeps Changing Your Mind A Guy Called Gerald-Voodoo Ray (A Guy Called Gerrard Edit) Soft House Company-What U Need The Todd Terry Project-Weekend Alison Limerick-Where Love Lives FPI Project-Rich In Paradise Joe Smooth-It’s Alright Q&A What was the first record you bought that made you realize that you wanted to be a DJ / Producer? The first record that made me realise I wanted to become a DJ? That’s a difficult one, it was a long time ago, it was probably Frankie Knuckles-Your Love  or Faze II- Reachin’, funnily enough both tracks are a nightmare to try and mix into a set. The first record I bought however was The Wombles-The Wombling Song. What record makes you most nostaligic? There are a few records that make me nostalgic, Pacific State by 808 State, Mr Fingers- Can U Feel it, I used to blast them out in my car on a Sunday evening after Partying all night on the Blackburn Warehouse scene, both tracks are full of emotion. What is your favourite end of night record? I have a few end of night records, Michael Jackson-Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough & Sister Sledge-We Are Family both seem to do the trick, leave em wanting more. Do you have a guilty pleasure record? Guilty pleasures, anything by The Wombles, I nearly started my set with that one. What is your most treasured piece of vinyl? My most treasured piece of vinyl is probably House Sounds of Chicago Vol 1. It was my first house record.
