Transgender track athlete CeCe Telfer was ruled ineligible to compete in the women’s 400m hurdles at the Olympic track and field trials after she failed to meet World Athletics qualifications.
USA Track & Field (USATF) released a statement regarding Telfer’s eligibility in compliance with World Athletics rules.
“Following notification from World Athletics on June 17 that the conditions had not yet been met, USATF provided CeCe with the eligibility requirements and, along with World Athletics, the opportunity to demonstrate her eligibility so that she could compete at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials,” the statement read, the New York Post reported. “According to subsequent notification to CeCe from World Athletics on June 22, she has not been able to demonstrate her eligibility.”
USATF also said that their organization “strongly supports inclusivity and providing a clear path to participation in the sport for all, while also maintaining competitive fairness.”
According to ESPN, to be eligible for an event, a transgender female athlete has to keep her testosterone levels below the 5 nmol/L thresholds for 12 months. World Athletics guidelines state that athletes can lower their testosterone using an oral contraceptive pill, a monthly injection of a hormone therapy drug or surgery to remove their testicles.
Ineligible to participate in women’s sports because IT is really a biological man.
