"The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has confirmed it is introducing a
controversial new policy that will ban transgender athletes from competing in
women’s events.
The IOC stated eligibility for women’s events will be determined by a
“once-in-a-lifetime” sex test, which would prevent transgender women and those
with differences in sexual development from competing.
It is an abrupt U-turn after the IOC previously left athletes’ eligibility up
to their respective sports federations.
Reactions to the decision were unsurprisingly fierce.
From a legal point of view, it opens up a can of worms and will no doubt
affect many athletes from the top level down to grassroots."
