REUTERS/Phil Noble/File PhotoBritish Cycling became the latest sports governing body to ban transgender women from competing in the female category of competitive events on Friday, tightening its rules around participation to "safeguard the fairness" of the sport.
British Cycling CEO Jon Dutton said he was confident that the governing body has "developed policies that both safeguard the fairness of cyclesport competition, whilst ensuring all riders have opportunities to participate." The International Cycling Union allows transgender women with reduced testosterone to take part in female events, but will announce results of a policy review in August.
Bridges condemned the rule changes in a scathing Instagram post on Friday, calling British Cycling a "failed organisation."
