OTOH, they're letting trans men compete against women.

That would certainly create a great deal of pressure from the coaches as well as the coached. The coaches might resort to some pretty basic tactics to see that no shenanigans take place.
I can see the trial now:

" Coach, in the olympic village on the night in question, did you order the code red?"

Not that I'm going to watch, haven't in a long time, my question is do they keep score? In our woke participation world, do all the athletes get a medal now?

Strip those assholes of their platform and silence them.
Absolutely excellent idea. Hell, they edit everything else these days, why not this too.
