  • Whether to allow transgender athletes to compete in women's sports already was a key debate among Olympic leaders before U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order that puts pressure on them before the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

The article from MSN discusses how former U.S. President Donald Trump's views on transgender athletes are influencing some candidates running for the position of International Olympic Committee (IOC) president.

The candidates are citing concerns over fairness, safety, and the integrity of women's sports, reflecting a broader debate within the sports community about how to balance inclusivity with competitive equity. This issue has become a significant point of discussion as the IOC seeks to update its policies to address the evolving landscape of gender identity in sports.
