Linky HERELAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) -- Transsexuals were cleared Monday to compete in the Olympics for the first time.
Under a proposal approved by the IOC executive board, athletes who have undergone sex-change surgery will be eligible for the Olympics if their new gender has been legally recognized and they have gone through a minimum two-year period of postoperative hormone therapy.

Not going to touch on this one, but I can see this being a heated debate for many.
and in what group do they compete? mens? womans? others
Hmm......Hormone therapy...... let's see, in pervious Olympics athletes using steriods or hormones to enhance their performance have lost their medals, but in this case it's required.
considering all the other things people do, just to win, how long before someone abuses this?
