The International Olympic Committee announced it will ban transgender athletes from competing in women's events at the Olympic Games starting in 2028, requiring all female competitors to undergo a one-time SRY gene test to determine biological sex eligibility. The policy, implemented after an 18-month consultation, aims to ensure fairness and safety in women's sports, though LGBTQIA+ advocacy groups have opposed the measure.
