The International Olympic Committee will prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports, starting at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The new policy, approved by the IOC’s executive committee Thursday, requires all athletes to undergo a genetic test to compete in women’s sporting events at the Olympics.
They do exactly this in boxing, and probably other fighting sports.
The thing is, people tend to take up sports their body type is suited to, so short people don’t tend to play a sport where being tall is an advantage for long.
Short people don’t generally play basketball because nobody organizes leagues into separate categories by height, if you did they would
Sure bud.
Good one
