Chand says she has been in a relationship with a woman in her village for four years.
NEW DELHI: Top Indian sprinter Dutee Chand revealed on Sunday that she is gay, becoming the first athlete from the socially conservative country to do so, and adding she feared being ostracised by her family after the admission.
The athlete said she feared social ostracism – including at the hands of her family – but added that a recent Supreme Court judgement decriminalising gay sex had given her the courage to speak out. After being diagnosed in 2014 with hyperandrogenism, a condition which produces high male sex hormones, Chand was barred from competing under International Association of Athletics Federation rules.
