At the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, the gloves were off. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., talked

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC 2024, at the National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md., Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., was referring to a USA Boxing policy change that allows trans athletes to compete under strict conditions. USA Boxing said it oversees national competitions, but does not dictate the rules for the Olympics.

"The Olympic Committee has decided this year coming up that all the Olympic sports can make their own decisions to let men play in women's sports," the retired Auburn University football coachFeb. 22."Well, the first one decided the other day, that the boxing committee decided this year that men can box against women in the Olympics.

We were unable to get clarity about that rule’s meaning, but no such rule was included in 2024.

Tuberville told PolitiFact he was referring to a 2022 policy change made by USA Boxing, which oversees the sport in the United States. USA Boxing sends athletes to international qualifying competitions, but does not make the rules for those competitions or for the Olympics. The recent policy change applies nationally in the United States, not internationally as Tuberville said.
