Olympic Committee Rewriting Rules On Transgender Athletes After Laurel Hubbard Becomes First Trans Competitor

The International Olympic Committee is overhauling its rules for transgender competitors after the Tokyo Olympics, saying the current regulations are outdated.

The IOC approved rules in 2015 allowing transgender athletes to compete in the Olympics against competitors of their gender identity as long as the transgender athlete met certain qualifications. For transgender women —  biological males — the athlete’s testosterone level must measure below 10 nanomoles per liter for at least a year prior to competing.
