Cikk tartalma röviden

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has decided to ban transgender women from competing in female events starting with the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. This decision follows calls for reforms after recent Olympic games and aims to protect fairness in women's sports by limiting eligibility to biological females, determined by a gene test. The policy also affects female athletes with medical conditions. IOC President Kirsty Coventry emphasized the importance of fairness in competition, citing biological advantages of males. The decision has garnered support from figures like US President Donald Trump, who praised the IOC's move.
