Follow the retreat;
The Olympics is increasingly likely to ban transgender athletes from all female competition following a science-based review of evidence.
Kirsty Coventry, the new president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), told Telegraph Sport in January that she favoured a blanket ban and, after winning the presidency in March, commissioned a review that assessed the permanent physical advantages of being born male.
An update was provided last week to IOC members by Dr Jane Thornton, who is the committee’s medical and scientific director.
Although no final decision has been made, the update to IOC members reportedly stated that scientific evidence showed there were physical advantages to being born male that remained even after reducing testosterone levels.
And that includes these freaks;
The stricter new IOC policy could also include athletes with differences of sex development, known as DSD. The most high-profile example is Caster Semenya, who won 800m gold at London 2012 and Rio 2016.
Two boxers – Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting – won controversial gold medals at the Paris Olympics last year despite allegedly failing to meet gender eligibility criteria at the Boxing World Championships. Their sex has never been officially confirmed.
