NEWSAR · AI

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that women's sports at the Olympic Games will be limited to biological females, starting with the 2028 Los Angeles Games. This decision reverses the 2021 policy that allowed individual sports federations to determine their own eligibility rules. The new policy will require athletes to undergo a one-time SRY gene screening to determine eligibility for female category events. The IOC stated the policy is based on scientific evidence and medical expertise. The screening will be conducted via saliva, cheek swab, or blood sample. The policy will prevent transgender women and those with differences in sexual development (DSD) from competing in the female category at the Olympics.
