Anew challenge to the Transgender athletes’ women as they face a harsh decision prevent them to participate into the worlds’ champions.!
Transgender women are increasingly likely to be banned from the female category across Olympic sport after another leading candidate to become International Olympic Committee president backed a new blanket policy.
Individual sports were able to set their own rules at last year’s Paris Games, prompting a patchwork of policies that prevented anyone who had gone through male puberty competing in sports such as athletics and swimming, but potentially eligible in women’s football.
There are also sport-by-sport Olympic rules regarding athletes with differences in sexual development, with athletics, led by Lord Coe, ruling that athletes must reduce their testosterone level to below 2.5 nanomoles per liter. That has meant that Caster Semenya, who won the 800 meters Olympic title in 2012 and 2016, is ineligible.
Coe president of the IOC added new strategy for gender policy across all Olympic sports.
President of World Athletics the IOC has made it clear that he would add a certain strategy to gender policy across all Olympic sports.
Among the other leading candidates is Kirsty Coventry, a member of the IOC executive board since 2018, who now also supports an Olympic-wide policy similar to athletics or swimming.
