Yes

 

Background:  FINA is the governing body of the sport of international swimming.

FINA vote restricts transgender athletes in women’s competitions

"The policy, which goes into effect Monday, requires transgender swimmers to have completed their transition by 12 years old to compete in women’s competitions and to maintain their circulating testosterone below the levels of 2.5 nanomoles per liter. It effectively bars most transgender women from top swimming events, including the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee defers to each sport’s federation to determine athlete eligibility."

It's just common sense. Remarkably, it took the governing body of swimming to lead the way. 

Thank you, FINA.
