Part 7/9:
In an international sports development, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is reportedly considering implementing a ban on transgender women competing in female categories altogether. According to The Times of London, an announcement is expected early next year, which would mark a significant shift from current policies.
Under the current system, transgender women can compete if their testosterone levels are below certain thresholds, with individual sports organizations retaining the authority to decide on eligibility. However, the IOC's review, based on recent scientific studies on the athletic advantages of biologically male competitors, suggests more restrictive measures may be imminent.
