International Olympic Committee (IOC) Medical Commission meeting on female reproductive system in sport, Monaco. A statement is adopted stating that ‘No female athlete should be denied the opportunity to participate in any Olympic sport on the basis that she might sustain an injury to her reproductive organs. A survey of injury data has failed to find any evidence of an increased risk of acute or chronic damage to the female reproductive organs occurring as a direct result of participation in sport.’
