The International Olympic Committee has clarified that it has not yet made a decision on whether to implement a blanket ban on transgender women competing in female categories across all sports.

IOC President Kirsty Coventry, who previously campaigned on introducing such a measure, had indicated that changes could be coming.

However, the IOC emphasised on Monday that discussions are still ongoing and no final ruling has been issued.

The IOC told the BBC Sports that “the working group is continuing its discussions on this topic and no decisions have been taken yet”. Punch
