Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the film "Sex Verification Testing of Athletes".

Answer:

The film shows that in most sports male athletes (who have a higher testosterone rate) outperform female athletes by about 10% in most sports. Testosterone is a hormone that is directly linked to athletic performance and this is the evidence that the film shows to affirm that "a high level of testosterone offers an unfair advantage in women's athletics"

This is adequate evidence, since it starts from a biological and scientifically proven principle, saving some exceptions.
