US Olympic and Paralympic officials bar transgender women from competing in women's categories

Transgender women will no longer be eligible to compete for the United States in the Olympic or Paralympic Games in women's categories, after a recent policy change from the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC).

"The USOPC is committed to protecting opportunities for athletes participating in sport. The USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities, e.g., IOC, IPC, NGBs, to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201 and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act," the revised policy says on the USOPC website.

The Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act establishes a process for handling eligibility disputes for each Olympic sport and participation in amateur athletic competitions. It was sponsored by Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens and adopted in 1998.

Time for the NCAA to step up. Has the Sun Belt Conference taken a position on this yet to avoid what happened in 2022 with Penn and the Ivy League?

"He" transferred from CCU to San Jose State and there is a big deal going on at SJSU about him. Some of the conference teams refused to play against him. I think there is a major lawsuit going on.
