The UK’s cycling governing body on Friday issued a new transgender and non-binary participation policy that will see competition split into “open” and “female” categories.
The policy has been released after a nine-month review that included a study of pertinent medical research led by Dr. Nigel Jones, British Cycling’s chief medical officer.
That research was said to demonstrate that the performance advantage of people who go through puberty as a male cannot be fully evened out by suppressing testosterone.
