The International Olympic Committee has unveiled a new policy following transgender controversy
The International Olympic Committee has barred transgender women from competing in female categories at the Olympic Games as part of its new eligibility policy, describing the decision as “evidence-based and expert-informed.”
The IOC’s previous framework allowed transgender participation on the condition of reduced testosterone levels.
The participation of transgender athletes in sport has been a source of growing controversy, with cases such as US swimmer Lia Thomas and New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard prompting debate over potential competitive advantages.
