“This IOC does the right thing and implements sex testing. At the LA Olympics, women’s sports will be women only,” Jennifer Sey, a former member of the US women’s national artistic gymnastics team,Sey, who is also the founder and CEO of XX-XY Athletics — an apparel brand that says it aims to defend female-only competition — has been a vocal advocate on the issue.

— who represented Great Britain in the Olympics and European championships, and now serves in the UK’s House of Lords — also lauded the decision.

But it’s imperative we recognise all women & girls deserve their sport, free from males, not just the very best only.”The new policy limits eligibility in women’s Olympic events to biological females, determined by a one-time SRY gene screening. It will take effect for the 2028 Summer Games in LA. The IOC said the change is intended to “protect fairness, safety and integrity in the female category,” noting the rule is not retroactive and will not apply to grassroots or recreational sports. It is unclear how many, if any, transgender women are competing at an Olympic level. No woman who transitioned from being born male competed in the 2024 Paris Summer Games. that also restricts female athletes such as two-time Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya with medical conditions known as differences in sex development, or DSD. The IOC and its president, Kirsty Coventry, have wanted a clear policy instead of continuing to advise sports’ governing bodies, who previously drafted their own rules. “At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat,” Coventry, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming, said in a statement. “So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category.”Disgraced cop chokes up describing how she lost 'everything in 15 seconds' before she was shot in chest Chilling moment Bryan Kohberger talks about his college murders with DMV worker — as he changed his license plateLindsey Vonn shows off her surgery bandages in high-slit dress on the cover of Vanity FairCharles GasparinoStream It Or Skip It: 'Bait' On Prime Video, Where Riz Ahmed Is A Struggling Actor Who Helps Start A Rumor About Him Being The Next James Bond
