The International Olympic Committee is set to make some significant changes to its rules about men participating in women's sports categories.

'We have to do that to ensure fairness. And we have to do it with scientific approach.'

This policy change comes after a "science-based" study led by Dr. Jane Thornton showed that men have significant physical advantages over biological women.

“It was a very scientific, factual, and unemotional presentation which quite clearly laid out the evidence,” one source told the Times.
