IOC announces new policy banning transgender women from competing in women's Olympic events starting in 2028
The International Olympic Committee announced a new eligibility policy that restricts women's Olympic competition to biological females, determined by SRY gene screening. The policy takes effect for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and also affects athletes with differences in sex development who have gone through male puberty. The policy is not retroactive and does not apply to grassroots or recreational sports.
