3:27Now PlayingThe women's category of Olympic sports will be limited to biological females from the Los Angeles Olympics 2028.
The International Olympic Committee said eligibility will be determined by a "once-in-a-lifetime" sex test, which would prevent transgender women and those with differences in sexual development who have gone through male puberty from competing.
