""At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat. So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category.""
"The IOC says the new rule is based on scientific evidence and 'protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category.'"
The IOC announced a ban on transgender athletes from competing in women's events, effective at the 2028 Summer Games.

Critics raise concerns about the reliability and cost of genetic testing, as well as the implications for fairness and safety in women's sports.
