Transgender women will be prevented from racing in British Cycling’s elite female events under a new policy published by the governing body, AP reports.
MANCHESTER, England — Riders who were assigned male at birth will be prevented from racing in British Cycling’s elite female events under a new transgender and non-binary participation policy published by the governing body on Friday.
The current men’s category will be consolidated into the open category, in which those whose sex was assigned as female at birth can also compete if they so wish. The UCI allows transgender women who have gone through male puberty to compete in elite women’s events if they have had reduced testosterone levels of 2.5 nanomoles per liter for the previous two years.British Cycling suspended its previous policy last April after transgender woman Emily Bridges sought to race at the national omnium championships as a female rider.
That previous transgender policy allowed riders to compete in the female category if they had testosterone levels below five nanomoles per liter for a 12-month period prior to competition.
