00:00The International Olympic Committee is reportedly ready to ban transgender women from competing in

00:05all female categories. The Times of London reports that the change is set to be announced

00:09early next year. Under the current policy, trans women have been allowed to compete in the female

00:14category as long as tests reveal reduced testosterone levels. But the final decision

00:19has always rested with the individual sports. Now, exactly how that policy will be changed,

00:25unclear at the moment. In fact, an IOC spokesperson denied that a decision has even been made.

00:31They did confirm to the Post, however, that the IOC conducted a science-based review

00:36of the athletic advantages of competitors who are born biologically male.

00:40The findings of that study were presented in a closed-door meeting last week. The big question

00:45now is whether these new rules, if they are released in the coming months, would be enforced

00:50for the Winter Olympics in Italy that begin this February.
