Athletes Criticize USA Boxing's Transgender Policy

Colby Covington Calls the New Rules 'Disgusting' and Warns of Potential Fatal Consequences

USA Boxing's new policy allows biological men who identify as women and meet certain conditions to compete in women's boxing.
UFC star Colby Covington criticizes the policy, calling it a 'PR stunt' and 'disgusting'.
Covington warns that the policy could lead to fatal consequences and urges for its reversal.
Other athletes, including former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines and tennis great Martina Navratilova, also express concerns over the policy's fairness and safety implications.
The conditions for trans competitors include undergoing gender reassignment surgery, quarterly hormone testing, and maintaining testosterone levels below 5 nmol/L for at least 48 months prior to their first fight.
