Doctors Oppose Trans Athlete Genital Exams; Coach Banned for Life for Abuse

Medical professionals are strongly opposing a Washington state referendum that would require genital examinations for student athletes participating in girls' sports. Doctors and nurses argue such measures are invasive, extreme, and create unsafe barriers for transgender and queer youth, violating their duty to protect patients.

In a separate development, a coach in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Jonathan Bukabakwa, has had his ban extended to 2048 by FIFA. This comes after it was revealed he continued to train children while already suspended for sexual abuse. The extended ban and additional fine highlight ongoing concerns about compliance and education within sports organizations.
