Chand was born on 3 February 1996 to Chakradhar Chand and Akhuji Chand in Gopalpur, in the Jajpur district of Odisha.
She is one of four daughters born to the poor weaver couple. In 2013, she enrolled in the KIIT University to pursue law. The year also saw her become the first Indian to reach the final of a global athletics 100 meters final, when she reached the final in the 2013 World Youth Championships.
Government is trying to explore Chemical Abstracts Service option in Dutee"s case There has been no suggestion that Chand has been involved in cheating or doping — the decision was made in compliance with International Olympic Committee (International Olympic Committee) regulations on “female hyperandrogenism” designed to address a perceived advantage for female athletes with high androgen levels.The decision has been condemned by Australian intersex advocates.
The Athletic Federation of India and IAAF’s actions were widely criticised as an affront to Chand’s privacy and human rights. In July 2015, the Court of Arbitration for Sport issued a decision to suspend the hyperandrogenism regulation for female track and field sports for two years, stating that insufficient evidence had been produced to indicate that there is any link between enhanced androgen levels and improved athletic performance.
The court allowed two further years for convincing evidence to be submitted by the IAAF, after which the regulation will be automatically revoked if evidence has not been provided. This effectively removes the suspension of Chand from competition, clearing her to race again.
Santhi Soundarajan extended her support to Chand and said the youngster should not be victimized.
She expressed her dismay at the lack of sensitivity in the handling of the issue, fearing that Chand"s future may have been jeopardized, and demanded that all steps be taken to ensure Chand"s return to the track.
