Women's cycling team manager speaks out after trans athlete competes against females
USA Cycling's policy defines female as a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
OutKick contacted USA Cycling's Bonnie Walker and the UCI for comment on their enforcement process but received no response prior to publication.
Amanda Tait was dropped from the field and removed under the race's standard time-cut procedures before any separate eligibility action could be taken.
“Respecting individuals starts with respecting the female category. Every athlete deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and women deserve a protected competitive category in which they can race fairly, safely and with confidence.”
NICOLA CRANMER
