Pro-athlete Riley Gaines tells 'America Reports' that the World Athletics' ban on trans women is 'inclusive' and upholds 'Title IV.'
on Thursday announced its decision to exclude transgender female athletes who have been through male puberty from world rankings competitions.for track and field and other running-related athletic events said its decision would have no consequences for athletes right now because there are no transgender athletes competing internationally.
"World Athletics conducted a consultation period with various stakeholders in the first two months of this year, including Member Federations, the Global Athletics Coaches Academy and Athletes’ Commission, the IOC as well as representative transgender and human rights groups," the organization said.
"In terms of DSD [Differences of Sexual Development] regulations, World Athletics has more than 10 years of research and evidence of the physical advantages that these athletes bring to the female category. "However, there are currently no transgender athletes competing internationally in athletics and consequently no athletics-specific evidence of the impact these athletes would have on the fairness of female competition in athletics.
"In these circumstances, the Council decided to prioritize fairness and the integrity of the female competition before inclusion."Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
