Are transgenders banned from women's sports?
Asked 11 hours ago
Answer
The USOPC has updated its policy to effectively bar transgender women from participating in women's sports, aligning with an executive order that restricts participation to those assigned female at birth. The rule does not explicitly mention transgender athletes but references compliance with the executive order. The International Olympic Committee leaves final decisions to sport governing bodies.
