SoFi Stadium’s World Cup Test Runs LA’s Olympic Playbook

LA officials view the World Cup at SoFi Stadium as a live rehearsal for the 2028 Olympics, using traffic snags like a Waymo left-turn bottleneck to plan geofencing and better pick‑up/drop‑off zones, while public transit ridership around the venue climbs about 41% and ticketing costs draw scrutiny; the episode highlights the need for transit‑first logistics and security planning as LA braces to host multiple Olympic venues, with the political optics of 2028 drawing in potential candidates.

IOC Adopts SRY-Based Rule to Define Female Olympic Competition for LA28

The International Olympic Committee unveiled a new policy that defines the female category in IOC events as limited to biological females, determined by a one-time SRY gene test. Those who test negative for SRY are eligible for the female category; those who test positive (including XY transgender and XY-DSD athletes) are ineligible for the female category and may compete in male or open categories, with a rare exception for CAIS or other DSDs that do not benefit from testosterone. The policy, non-retroactive, applies from the LA28 Games onward and does not affect grassroots programs. It was developed through expert review and athlete input to promote fairness, safety, and integrity, with education and privacy protections for athletes.

Wasserman to Sell Talent Agency After Epstein-Maxwell Ties Surface

Casey Wasserman said he is putting his eponymous talent and marketing agency on the market after emails with Ghislaine Maxwell surfaced in Epstein-related files, saying past personal mistakes distracted the company. Deputy Mike Watts will run day-to-day operations as Wasserman shifts focus to delivering a worthy Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. Several clients have cut ties in the wake of the revelations, and Wasserman apologized, stressing he had no personal or business relationship with Epstein. The LA28 committee said its review found his relationship with Epstein did not extend beyond what is publicly documented.
