There are a couple of controversial rules that are causing a stir in the triathlon and Olympic athlete world. One such rule states that female competitors cannot have too much natural testosterone in their bodies. If they are over a certain limit, they are expected to lower their levels with medication or even surgery.

There are other less controversial rules, such as no dunking, proper helmet use, no obstructing, no littering, and no drafting.
