Competitive cyclist Holly Lavesser expressed her fears that female athletes are being pushed out of women's sports after a biological male won a recent cycling competition.
"It's just so unfair," Lavesser said."I train every day in some capacity. I work a full-time job, so it's definitely a balance to get my training in. I make nutritional choices so that I can compete at my best ability. And when someone else walks in that has an advantage, one that I will never have, it's just disheartening. It's humiliating in a way."
"Those who transition from female to male are eligible to compete in the male category upon providing a written and signed declaration acceptable to the UCI Medical Manager. It is the responsibility of athletes to be aware of current WADA/USADA policies and to file for appropriate therapeutic use exemptions," the first rule states.
