The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee modified its athlete safety guidelines to align with federal mandates regarding gender participation in competitive sports. Officials published the revised policy Monday following President Trump's February directive that restricts female athletic divisions to participants assigned female at birth. The committee references Executive Order 14201 within its updated framework without directly addressing transgender athlete eligibility.

Federal authorities require recognition of biological sex determined at conception under the new regulations. The directive empowers agencies to withdraw funding from programs permitting transgender participation in women's competitions. State Department officials must advocate for similar international policies through Olympic and United Nations channels.

The Olympic committee plans coordination with international governing bodies to implement these modifications. Officials have not specified whether American athletes face potential disqualification from the 2028 Olympic Games. The policy adjustment represents the committee's response to administrative requirements affecting competitive sport classifications nationwide.
