LivingCare offers SRY gender testing for athletes and organisations where gender verification is compulsory.
SRY gender testing is a genetic test that determines biological sex by checking for the presence or absence of the SRY (Sex-determining Region Y) gene, which is found on the Y chromosome. This test is increasingly being introduced by sports governing bodies and organisations as part of compulsory gender screening requirements.
At LivingCare, we provide a professional and confidential service. A small blood sample is taken by one of our clinicians and sent to an accredited laboratory for genetic analysis. The results will confirm whether the SRY gene is present, giving a clear outcome for verification purposes.
SRY gender testing has recently been introduced by major sports governing bodies. In May 2025, World Boxing announced that all boxers must now undergo SRY testing as part of compulsory gender verification. Soon after, World Athletics confirmed that from September 2025 athletes competing in the female category will be required to complete a one-time SRY gene test. These developments highlight the growing importance of accurate, reliable testing in professional sport, ensuring compliance with the latest regulations.
