You got that exactly wrong. No bias is being displayed by that quote because they're simply describing IOC criteria.

The full quote is:

"Accordingly, the IOC determined criteria by which transgender women may be eligible to compete in the female category. These include a solemn declaration that her gender identity is female and the maintenance of total serum testosterone levels below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to competing and during competition."

Sorry, I didn't continue reading the rest of your comment.

Gotcha, like "I do solemnly swear". I see, I did get that wrong.
