Swimming's world governing body FINA on Sunday voted to restrict the participation of transgender athletes in elite women's competitions and create a working group to establish an "open" category for them in some events as part of its new policy.
The new policy states that transgender women must establish that they “have not experienced any part of male puberty”. It follows the report of a scientific panel that found that trans women retained a significant advantage over cisgender female swimmers even after reducing their testosterone levels through medication.
