Trans women banned from world athletics events over competitive advantage fears
People who go through male puberty but then transition to women will be excluded from female world ranking competitions from the end of the month.
It comes after a dispute over the fairness of allowing them to take part, given fears that their bodies will give them an edge over competitors. World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said: "The council has agreed to exclude male-to-female transgender athletes, who have been through male puberty, from female world ranking competitions from 31 March."
He added: "The World Athletics Council has today taken decisive action to protect the female category in our sport and do so by restricting the participation of trans athletes."
