Is it this Olympics or the next summer one where they're going to let men compete as women? Seems to me, I heard that someplace.

The Olympics are reportedly adopting a new policy that opens the field of competition to transgender athletes.

The International Olympic Committee received proposed guidelines in November from its 'Consensus Meeting on Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism', which allow for broader policies that would include transgender athletes.

Olympic officials have not confirmed the new guidelines, which have already been adopted by other regulatory sports organizations, but the policy is available on the organization's website.

(CNN)New Zealand athlete Laurel Hubbard recently won the Australian International weightlifting competition, and made history in the process. For one, she set a new national record for the women's "clean and jerk," an achievement she hopes will put her on the path to the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.

She also became the first transgender woman to represent New Zealand at such an event -- a detail that has drawn praise and criticism.

For critics, the big wrinkle here lies somewhere between her margin of victory -- the second-place finisher lifted about 41 pounds (19 kg) less than her -- and the fact that Hubbard competed as a man before her transition.

Well that's a damn shame.

But this subversive horsecrap of letting Russians compete without flag or anthemn, that's just sick.

Shame on the IOC, but not surprising to expect any different.

You should watch "Icarus" on Netflix. Their cheating was not only blatant, but state sponsored.

They reap what the Kremlin has sown.
