""Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females, determined on the basis of a one-time SRY gene screening.""
""The eligibility policy that will apply from the LA Olympics in July 2028 protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category.""
""It is not retroactive and does not apply to any grassroots or recreational sports programs, said the IOC, whose Olympic Charter states that access to play sport is a human right.""
""Coventry set up a review of 'protecting the female category' as one of her first big decisions last June as the first woman to lead the Olympic body in its 132-year history.""
The International Olympic Committee has implemented a new eligibility policy that excludes transgender women from competing in female categories at the Olympics. This policy, effective from the 2028 Los Angeles Games, requires athletes to be biologically female based on a one-time SRY gene screening. The IOC aims to protect fairness and integrity in women's sports. The policy does not apply retroactively and does not affect grassroots sports. Additionally, it restricts athletes with differences in sex development, such as Caster Semenya, from competing in female events.
