This change takes effect ahead of the 2028 Games in Los Angeles and matches a recent executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump. Athletes will now face required genetic testing to confirm their biological sex for eligibility. They ever highlighted the decision by sharing a positive social media post from author J.K. Rowling, who praised it as a step toward fairness in women's sports.
