As reported at Reuters, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is set to ban transgender women from women's sports in 2028. The ban is expected to begin prior to the 2028 Olympic games in Los Angeles, California when the Games come to the United States.
The International Olympic Committee is set to announce a ban on transgender women in female competition early next year after a science-based review of evidence about permanent physical advantages of being born male.
The IOC’s guidance to Olympic sports has until now been that transgender women can compete with reduced testosterone levels but leaves it up to individual sports to decide.
That is now set to change under its new president, Kirsty Coventry, who has promised to protect the female category.
The ban is expected to come into force before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
That would avoid any clash with the US president, Donald Trump, who has signed an executive order that prevents transgender women from competing in female categories.
