Sebastian Coe Announces IOC Presidential Candidacy

News summary

Sebastian Coe, a former Olympic champion and current World Athletics president, has announced his candidacy for the presidency of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), emphasizing the protection of women's sports as a priority. Coe proposes a 'clear-cut' policy to safeguard female categories, particularly in the wake of controversies at the Paris Olympics, where boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting competed despite failing gender eligibility tests. He criticizes the current IOC guidelines as ambiguous and stresses the need for firm policies to prevent similar issues. Coe's candidacy aims to modernize the IOC with policies that ensure fair competition and consider athletes' remuneration. The campaign comes amid broader debates about gender eligibility in sports, reflecting his previous action in World Athletics to ban transgender women from elite female events. Although Coe's manifesto is yet to be released, he promises an uncompromising approach to these issues if elected.
