  • PYLOS, Greece - The increasingly polarising debate over transgender athletes in women's sport has become a key issue for candidates vying to become the next president of the International Olympic Committee.

The article from MSN discusses the views of candidates for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President on the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports. The candidates include:

  • Sebastian Coe, who has expressed concerns about fairness in women's sports, suggesting that the current guidelines might need reevaluation to ensure competitive equity.

  • Thomas Bach, the incumbent, who has supported the IOC's framework which allows transgender athletes to compete under certain conditions, emphasizing inclusion and non-discrimination.

  • Cindy Parlow Cone, who advocates for a policy that balances inclusion with fairness, acknowledging the complexity of the issue and the need for ongoing research.

  • Luis Mejia Oviedo, who has not publicly detailed his stance but is known for his focus on sports development in less developed countries, which might influence his views on inclusivity.

    The candidates' positions reflect a spectrum of opinions, from cautious support for current policies to calls for more stringent criteria to protect the integrity of women's sports.
