foxnews.com —

Bob Costas supports the IOC's new policy banning transgender athletes from women's sports, stating "common sense is not transphobic." The International Olympic Committee's policy, unveiled this week, limits female competition to biological females, using SRY gene screening for eligibility. This policy aims to ensure fair competition. This decision follows similar policies in track, swimming, and cycling before the Paris 2024 Olympics and will apply to all sports by the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
