In a study on testosterone levels in trans male to female persons only a quarter of transgender women taking a regimen of spironolactone and estrogens were able to lower testosterone levels within the "usual" female physiologic range. Another quarter could not achieve female levels but remained below the male range virtually all of the time, while one quarter were unable to achieve any significant suppression.
Seems if Laurel Hubbard testosterone level was higher than the "usual" this would be the equivalent of doping if she was a biological female.
Not saying she can't compete more so it need to be fair for "all" athletes competing as females.
