Meg Cochrane’s article about the IOC introducing a one-time SRY gene test for athletes wishing to compete in the ‘female’ category at the 2028 Olympic Games has been published on LawInSport, the world’s leading sports law website.

In her article, Meg breaks down the science and rationale underlying the IOC’s new testing policy, the exceptions, the testing process and its possible outcomes, and the potential legal challenges that may follow from the IOC’s introduction of this policy.

An interesting read for anyone working at the intersection of sport, science, and regulation.
