President Donald Trump said there will be a “very strong test form” in response to a question on mandatory genetic tests for female sports at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. Trump’s response occurred to a Tuesday White House event where he signed a decree to establish the creation of a La28 working group.
“I think there will be a very strong form of test,” said Trump. “There will be a very, very strong form of test, and if the test does not come out properly, then they will not be at the Olympic Games.”

The American Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) recently changed its athlete security policy to suggest compliance with Trump’s executive decree “men outside of female sports”.
“USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with surveillance responsibilities … to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment in accordance with the executive order 14201,” said policy.
Trump said on Tuesday that he thought that the USOPC would have changed its previous policy which allowed organic men to participate in women’s competitions even if it had not returned to the post and had signed the decree.
“I think they’ve likely,” said Trump.
Trump was also asked if he thought that current policy will remain in place after his departure.
“There is a possibility. It could go in both directions if you really want to know the truth,” said Trump. “I am convinced about this. I, I launched a campaign at least partially.

Many female sport activists have aggressively called for the implementation of compulsory sexual tests in Olympic competition and NCAA women since the signing of Trump’s decree.
The independent council on female sports (icons), the defense group which represents several female militant athletes, published a press release on July 22, calling for compulsory sexual screening for all female athletes of events punishable by the USOPC, after the publication of the change of policy.
“The next critical step is to implement sexual screening protocols.
“The United States has a chance to be a leader in defense of the fair treatment of women around the world.”
Female female Stephanie Turner, who drew attention to USOPC policies when she knelt to protest against a trans opponent in images that became viral in April, also called the tests.
“The application of this policy will be essential,” said Turner. Turner highlighted the karyotyping, a test that examines chromosomes in a cell sample, as a necessary form of test.
“You can no longer count on the documentation. You cannot count on driving licenses, you cannot count on birth certificates because they can all be changed.”
The former gymnast of American women Dee Worley also told PK Press Club Digital that she thought that tests should be compulsory to protect competitors.
Worley said that she did not believe that any dynamic on the issue will be achieved until the implementation of compulsory sexual projections.
