The UCI has followed athletics in preventing transgender women competing if they went through male puberty
Transgender women will be banned from all cycling events under new rules that come into force on Monday, cycling’s world governing body (UCI) has announced.
Under existing regulations, transgender women can compete in female races sanctioned by the UCI providing they have a maximum testosterone level of 2.5 nanomoles per litre.
In May, the UCI defended that policy as being “based on the latest scientific knowledge” following controversy after American Austin Killips won the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico to become the first transgender women to win a UCI women’s stage race.
The governing body announced on Friday that its management committee had voted to change those rules after further consultation with stakeholders and a review of scientific evidence, legal considerations and human rights.
