So what explains the IOC's dramatic change in approach?

From BBC

The IOC has not published the scientific research it based its decision on, but has stated that at the elite level, there is a 10-12% male performance advantage in most running and swimming events, and that rises to 20% in most throwing and jumping disciplines, and 100% in sports such as boxing, that involve explosive power.

From BBC

Those who have long called for this change in policy argue that the science has shown such advantages for years, and some believe the IOC has been forced into this by a series of controversies, and the fact that a growing list of sports had already shown it was possible legally to introduce tougher eligibility criteria.

From BBC

Having been a senior figure at the IOC when it controversially stated that competitors were eligible for the women's boxing competition if their passports simply said they were female, Coventry then pledged to do more to protect the female category during her election campaign for the presidency.

From BBC

The IOC has also urged sports federations to facilitate access to mental health and safeguarding resources for athletes undergoing the test, particularly for those with a positive result, and made clear the need for the right to privacy and confidentiality, along with consideration for "the special situation of minors and ensure that appropriate safeguards and protections are in place".
