If Lord Sebastian Coe secures his bid for IOC presidency, the future of the Olympics could see a ban on transgender athletes in women's sports

The article discusses the potential implications of a new policy by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) regarding transgender athletes in women's Olympic events. The IOC has not yet made a final decision but is considering a framework that could lead to a complete ban on transgender women who have gone through male puberty from competing in women's sports at the Olympics. This policy shift is influenced by ongoing debates about fairness, inclusion, and competitive equity in sports. The article highlights the complexity of the issue, mentioning the balance between protecting the rights of transgender athletes and ensuring fair competition for cisgender female athletes. It also notes that World Athletics and other sports bodies are watching the IOC's decision closely, as it could set a precedent for other international sports organizations. The discussion includes perspectives from various stakeholders, including athletes, sports officials, and advocates for transgender rights, all of whom have differing views on how best to address the participation of transgender athletes in elite sports.
