Doping down?

USA Cycling updates transgender athlete participation policy​

Is it wrong, or illegitimate to consider when a male athlete becomes a female athlete and must take drugs / medication in order to race down, that that is doping down?

Is (the) "process includes the submission of medical documentation demonstrating that the athlete's total testosterone level in serum has been below 2.5 nmol/L for at least 24 months and must be completed 90 days prior to the first day of the race in which the athlete seeks to compete."

The regulatory is in place to insure the racer, then, has doped / medicated, down enough?

Is that correct? Is that an irrational, unacceptable way to consider it? Incorrect in any way?

I guess that depends on who you ask.
The coach of FeLancia Armstrong might say that female testosterone levels can exceed 2.5 nmol/L if the athlete increases their cadence. It's all about the cadence.
Others may disagree.
