The upcoming election of a new IOC president on March 20 could profoundly affect the Olympics' participation policies for athletes with differences in sexual development (DSD) and transgender athletes. Lord Sebastian Coe, current World Athletics President, advocates for stringent rules, including a recent extension of testosterone limits for DSD athletes. Coe's previously expressed belief that the IOC lacks clear policies may lead to further debates as he asserts that excluding transgender women from female categories is necessary to protect women's sports.
"If you are not prepared to take a lead, you will really lose female sport and I'm not prepared to see that happen."
