Spokesperson for the International Olympic Comittee, Mark Adams said:
“I repeat that all the competitors comply with the eligibility rules.”
“But what I would say is that this involves real people. And, by the way, this is not a transgender issue. I should make this absolutely clear,”
The IOC said:
“Everyone competing in the women’s category is complying with the competition eligibility rules,” Adams said. “They are women in their passports and it’s stated that this is the case, that they are female.”
