Rugby league has banned transgender players from women's international competition until further notice.MELBOURNE — Rugby league has banned transgender players from women's international competition until further notice, following global swimming's decision to restrict trans athletes' participation at the elite level.
"It is the IRL's responsibility to balance the individual's right to participate... against perceived risk to other participants, and to ensure all are given a fair hearing." "Fina failed to meet that standard, and the Rugby League's ban also fails to do so, despite it being temporary." The International Cycling Union said last week it had tightened its eligibility rules while other sports have said they are reviewing their policies.
However, US football player Megan Rapinoe, a two-time World Cup winner and an Olympic gold medallist, said the Fina decision was "disgusting" and "cruel"."We're everything through 'God forbid a trans person be successful in sports'. Get a grip on reality and take a step back," she told Time magazine.
