However, the truth is that in many respects, progress is stalling, or even falling back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSharron Davies is no stranger to battling the routine sexism in the sporting world. She missed out on Olympic Gold because of blatant doping among East German athletes in the 1980s and has never received justice. Now, biological males are being allowed to compete directly against women under the guise of trans 'self-ID', a development that could destroy the integrity of female sport. This callous indifference towards women in sport, argue Sharron and journalist Craig Lord, is merely the latest stage in a decades-long history of sexism on the part of sport's higher-ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA strong fightback is required to root out the lingering misogyny that plagues sporting governance, media coverage, and popular perceptions. \u003cem\u003eUnfair Play\u003c\/em\u003e provides the facts, science, and arguments that will help women in sport get the justice they deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083050598636,"sku":"9781800752801","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3628103482829.jpg?v=1765280160"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sharron-davies.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
