| Transgender women will be barred from competingin women’s Olympic events, starting with the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Games. Women athletes must undergo a one-time genetic test, already used in track and field, skiing, and boxing. The International Olympic Committee announced the shift yesterday, reversing a 2004 decision that allowed transgender participation. The genetic test—via saliva, a cheek swab, or a blood sample—screens for the SRY (sex-determining region Y) gene, a DNA marker typically found on the Y chromosome that triggers male sex development in utero. The IOC cited research suggesting advantages linked to male puberty, such as strength and endurance, can persist even after puberty suppression or hormone therapy |
