Cilj ovog rada je iznijeti problem koji i danas stvara moralne nedoumice prilikom utvrđivanja spola u sportu. Obuhvaća neke antropološke razlike između žene i muškarca, problematiku osiguravanja pravednosti natjecanja i pravo na zaštitu privatnosti koja je neotuđivo ljudsko pravo. U radu je obuhvaćeno značenje spolnog i rodnog identiteta, navode se primjeri i posljedice nepreciziranja u procjeni i određivanju spola, te polemizira o posljedicama medijskih pritisaka na nedokazane pretpostavke po pitanju sportskog rezultata.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
