The ICO has banned trans women from competing in women's categories
The measure, based on SRY gene detection, will enter into force in Los Angeles in 2028, without retroactive effect.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC), chaired by Kirsty Coventry, has announced a new regulation prohibiting trans athletes from competing in women's categories at the Olympic Games and all competitions held under its auspices.
The measure, which will enter into force from the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and will not be retroactive, provides that only "biological women" may compete in the category of women, which will be determined by a single test of the SRY gene, considered by the body as an indicator of male sexual development.
The International Commission has justified this decision on the basis of the need to preserve the integrity, safety and integrity of women's sport, on the basis of scientific evidence indicating the competitive advantages that such development may bring; however, women athletes who have achieved a positive result in the test may compete in other categories, such as men, mixed or open.
Kirsty Coventry, president of the organization, said the regulation aims to ensure fair competition, while stressing that all athletes must be treated with dignity and respect.
