On June 19th the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), swimming’s global governing body, ruled that transgender women—ie, biological males who consider themselves women—would not be allowed to compete in women’s elite races if they have gone through male puberty.

Sebastian Coe, the head of World Athletics, welcomedFINA’s decision, suggesting that the global track-and-field authority may soon go the same way.FIFA, which governs football, is rumoured to be considering a similar ruling.
