Based on the PDGA's ruling and the DGPT's subsequent adoption of their high-end standards, they basically have prohibited Natalie Ryan from ever playing at that level again in FPO (under these new requirements).
Did you look up what Tanner Stage 2 is?
Beyond that, for A-Tier or lower, the old rule was X amount of testosterone for 1 year.
Now it's Y amount of testosterone for 2 years.
So no, under these new requirements, Natalie can't play in an A Tier (or B or C) until she shows Y amount of testosterone continuously for 2 years.
It doesn't say she has to start 2 years beginning now...it says she has to be at the correct levels for 2 years. She could have been under that level for the past 2 years and have tests done during that time.
Not knowing if she's eligible to play now is not the same as "they're making her wait 2 years to play". She might be eligible immediately depending on her medical history.
