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.
She is the current national champion in women"s 100 metres event. Dutee Chand, in 2012 became a national champion in the under-18 category when she clocked 11.8 seconds in the 100 meters event. Clocking 23.811 seconds, Chand won the bronze in the 200 metres event at the Asian Championships in Pune. In the same year, she became the national champion in 100 metres and 200 metres when she won the events clocking 11.73 s in the final in 100 metres and a career-best 23.73 s in 200 metres at the National Senior Athletics Championships in Ranchi. Chand was dropped from the Commonwealth Games contingent at the last minute after the Athletic Federation of India stated that hyperandrogenism made her ineligible to compete as a female athlete.
