Trump vows 'strong testing' for trans athletes at 2028 Olympics: 'Won't let men steal trophies from women'

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump on Tuesday, August 5, announced that there will be a "very strong form of testing" as he replied to a question about mandatory genetic testing for women's sports at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The POTUS said this during a White House event where he signed an executive order to establish the formation of an LA28 task force.

Trump implies strict rules for 2028 LA Olympics

Donald Trump replied to a reporter and said, "I think there is going to be a very strong form of testing. There will be a very, very strong form of testing, and if the test doesn't come out appropriately, then they won't be in the Olympics."

Meanwhile, the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) recently amended its athlete safety policy to comply with Trump's "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order.

The amended policy reads, "USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities… to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201."

Moreover, Trump added on Tuesday that he believes the USOPC would have changed its earlier policy that allowed biological males to compete in the women's competitions even if he hadn't become the president and signed the new executive order. 

During the White House event, Trump was also asked if he believes the current policy will stay in place after he leaves office. 

The president replied, "There's a possibility. It could go either way if you really want to know the truth. I feel strongly about it. I have, I ran a campaign at least partially on that. That was one of the many issues I talked about… that was certainly one of the issues."

Interestingly, the Independent Council on Women's Sports (ICONS), the advocacy group representing multiple women's activist athletes, released a statement on July 22 and called for mandatory sex screening for all women's athletes in USOPC-sanctioned events, as the policy change was publicized.

The statement read, "The next critical step is for the USOPC to implement sex screening protocols. This will ensure that women are guaranteed equal, fair and safe opportunities in athletic competition. ICONS will not rest until every girl, at every level, in every sport has access to fair competition and privacy in locker rooms."
