The rule change came just months after American rider Austin Killips won the Tour of the Gila, which made her the first openly transgender woman to win a UCI 2.2-registered stage cycling event.
The International Cycling Union ruled that female transgender athletes who transitioned after male puberty will no longer be able to compete in women’s races in the future,“From now on, female transgender athletes who have transitioned after puberty will be prohibited from participating in women’s events on the UCI International Calendar — in all categories — in the various disciplines,” the international federation said in a statement, via The Associated Press.
Killips spoke out last month about the backlash she and other transgender athletes have received recently. "It's certainly concerning that the nature of the discourse, the amount of energy that has gone into building this narrative would lead you to believe that there's this massive number of trans athletes participating in sports and winning all the time, when the reality is that we're statistically underrepresented," she told. "By the number, some of us do well, a lot of us do just fine, are just normal competitors.
