"Transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas Takes Legal Action Against World Aquatics' Policy"

Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas is seeking a ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn a policy that would prevent her from competing in women's races at elite competitions. She argues that the gender inclusion policy created by swimming's international federation is discriminatory and violates the Olympic Charter, the World Aquatics Constitution, and Swiss law. The decision could have implications for other sports with restrictions on transgender competitions.

World Athletics Implements Ban on Transgender Athletes in Women's Competitions.

The World Athletics Council will bar transgender women athletes from elite competitions for women, citing the need to prioritize "fairness and the integrity" of the female competition over inclusion. The council's policy will be in effect starting March 31 and will also tighten rules for athletes with disorders of sexual development. The council plans to form a working group to consider the issue of transgender inclusion over the next year. The ban is part of a growing resistance against transgender women and girls in female sports.

World Athletics Implements Ban on Transgender Women in Elite Female Competitions

World Athletics has banned transgender women from competing in elite female competitions if they have gone through male puberty, citing the need to protect the female category. The organization will form a task force to study transgender inclusion, chaired by a transgender athlete. World Athletics also voted to end its eight-year doping ban for the Russian Athletics Federation, but the country's athletes, and those of Belarus, will remain excluded from international competition because of an ongoing separate ban over the invasion of Ukraine. The council also tightened restrictions on athletes with differences in sex development, cutting the maximum amount of plasma testosterone for athletes in half to 2.5 nanomoles per liter.
