Badminton World Federation (BWF) said on Thursday it has started a research process to help it make “evidence-based decisions” for its policy on the involvement of transgender athletes in the sport.
Badminton’s governing body is the latest to undertake a review of its guidelines following last weekend’s ruling by global swimming’s top body FINA, which voted to ban anyone who has been through male puberty from elite women’s competitions.
World Athletics and FIFA are among the governing bodies reviewing their transgender inclusion policies.
