The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) issued a policy update on July 21 regarding transgender athlete participation in sports, which indicates that U.S. women’s teams at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will be conducted in line with President Donald Trump’s executive order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.”

“The USOPC is committed to protecting opportunities for athletes participating in sport,” the organising committee said in a linked athlete safety policy document.
