The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee updated its policies to say it will comply with President Donald Trump's executive order banning transgender women from competing in women's sports.

The committee made the change in an updated "Athlete Safety Policy," which does not mention the word "transgender" in any of its 27 pages. However, the document, dated June 18 but posted quietly on the USOPC's website Monday, includes language saying the committee will comply with Trump' s order.


"The USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities, e.g., IOC, IPC, NGBs, to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201 and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act," the document says.

Executive Order 14201 is otherwise known as Trump's “No Men in Women’s Sports Executive Order."
