Then Bruce wanted to be a Caitlyn but was not... So he competed, and won as Bruce... Then. Good for him! Now he "is" Caitlyn. The IOC wants to take away accomplishments made by Bruce when he was Bruce because he felt more like he should be a Caitlyn...but the fact of the matter is...HE WAS BRUCE THEN!!! Regardless of who he is now, That was then this is now. Chances are if He competed as a she in the Olympics back then, He/She would have beat the woman's events and won gold.
Bottom Line: Physically he was a he when he won Olympic gold back then. He should not have his medals and achievements that he earned as a he back then stripped just because he felt like he should have been a she.
Now for the genetic factor: The sex of most mammals, including humans, is genetically determined by the XY sex-determination system where males have X and Y If you look at Caitlyn Jenner's genetic code, it says XY... Male...Same as what it was when he earned the Olympic medals. He/She should be able to keep his achievements!
