British Rowing announces a ban on biological men competing in women's events

The governing body of the sport said Thursday that only competitors “who are assigned female at birth” will be allowed to participate in women's races and represent Britain internationally.

According to a report published in the Telegraph, 80% of those who compete under the umbrella of the organization wanted a change to an existing policy that allowed competitors to compete in their self-identified sex.

The policy change takes effect next week, with the creation of a new open category for both biological male and female contestants.
