Today the UCI released its updated transgender policy.

Female transgender athletes who transitioned after male puberty will no longer be able to compete in women’s races. The world cycling governing body the UCI announced the ban on Friday.

The International Cycling Union (UCI)’s president David Lappartient said the federation ‘has a duty to guarantee, above all, equal opportunities’.

The need to make clear that a woman is a woman and a man is a man would have been inconceivable 50 years ago – but this is where we are today. We need the Women’s Bill of Rights to unblur the line between the sexes and to set out plainly the necessary definitions to ensure privacy, safety, and equal opportunity, both on and off the field, for women.

It's estimated that more than 50 male-born athletes are active in women's competitive cycling, but as far as cyclist Austin Killips is concerned, that isn't enough.
