The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is expected to ban biological males from competing in women’s sports ahead of the 2028 Olympics that will take place in Los Angeles. President Donald Trump has said that the US will deny visas for trans-identified males seeking to compete in woen's sports at the 2028 games.
Current rules leave decisions on whether trans-identified males can compete in the women’s division up to each individual sport, however, the IOC under new president Kirsty Coventry is reportedly in discussions about changing this policy, per the Daily Mail.
Olympic sources told the outlet that the measure is the "direction of travel" and could be announced in the new year, however, it is unlikely it would be in place before the upcoming Winter Olympics set to take place in Italy in February. Insiders estimate that it could take between six months and a year for the rule change to be approved and cleared.
