Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Olympic and Paralympic Committee to Follow Trump's Order Banning Transgender Athletes from Women's Sports
Caption: The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) will comply with a Trump administration order banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports. The update to the USOPC’s athlete safety policy aligns with Executive Order 14201 issued by Trump in February. The new language in the 27-page athlete safety policy addresses the order but avoids explicitly mentioning transgender athletes. The policy states the USOPC will work with stakeholders like the IOC, IPC, and NGBs to ensure a fair competition environment for women. The USOPC emphasized its commitment to upholding the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act and maintaining competitive fairness. The executive order mandates that federally chartered organizations like the USOPC comply with federal expectations regarding athlete participation. The USOPC sent a letter to stakeholders outlining its new policy, following “respectful and constructive conversations” with federal officials. The letter stated the USOPC's obligation to align with federal guidance for athlete safety and competitive fairness. The national governing bodies of sports in the U.S. are required to adopt the new guidelines under the USOPC’s updated policy. The updated policy page now directs visitors to refer to the USOPC athlete safety policy as of July 21, 2025. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
