US EditionIOC Considers Blanket Ban on Trans Women in Olympics

- Last week, IOC director of health, medicine and science Dr. Jane Thornton presented an update incorporating a science-based review that found advantages for individuals born male.
- IOC President Kirsty Coventry created the 'Protection of the Female Category' working group last month to unite experts and international federations, reversing the IOC’s earlier approach of delegation to individual sports.
- Several federations including World Athletics and World Aquatics already tightened rules, while boxing and athletics introduced mandatory SRY gene testing this year to verify biological sex.
- If finalised, the move would mark a dramatic reversal of the IOC's previous inclusive framework and could exclude athletes with Differences of Sex Development at the Los Angeles Games.
- Timing remains uncertain as the IOC working group continues discussions and approval could take six to 12 months, with reports saying an announcement may come days before the 2026 Winter Olympics on February 6.
