Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present an issue that still creates a moral dilemma in determining sex. It includes some anthropological diff erences of men and women, the problem of ensuring fairness of competition and on the other side the right of preserving privacy, which is an inalienable human right. The paper cites the meaning of a sex and gender identity and the examples and consequences of not specifying the assessment and determination of the sex and the opens the polemics about the effects of media pressure on unproven assumptions regarding the sports results.
