Male-born cyclists who identify as female will no longer be able to compete in women's elite races sponsored by British Cycling, the latest sports authority to opt for fairness versus inclusion amid an influx of transgender athletes in women's sports.
British Cycling released Friday an updated Policy for Competitive Activity that creates two categories: the female category, which is reserved for women and women who identify as men but have not begun hormone therapy, and an open category for everyone else, including men.British Cycling
“I am confident that we have developed policies that both safeguard the fairness of cycle sport competition, whilst ensuring all riders have opportunities to participate,” saidThe policy changes, which are scheduled to be implemented by the end of the year, come after a nine-month review that included focus groups, interviews and examinations of the scientific, medical and legal landscape.
“British Cycling is a failed organization; the racing scene is dying under your watch” said Ms. Bridges, adding, “You have no right telling me when I am done.”
