The Science and the Review Process
An IOC spokesperson has publicly denied that a final decision has been made, emphasizing that no official policy change has been announced. Nonetheless, it has been confirmed that the IOC has conducted a comprehensive, science-based review analyzing the athletic advantages that competitors born biologically male might possess over cisgender women.
This review, the results of which were reportedly presented during a closed-door meeting last week, underscores the emphasis on scientific evidence in guiding policy decisions. The findings from this study are expected to influence the upcoming guidelines, although details remain confidential at this stage.
