USA Cycling updates its Transgender Athlete Participation Policy, creating two new categories
CyclingSaturday, 21 October 2023 at 01:00
USA Cycling, the governing body for the sport of cycling in the United States, introduced its revised Transgender Athlete Participation Policy, aligning itself with the standards set by the UCI for international competition while establishing new categories for transgender athletes at the domestic level.
For non-UCI-sanctioned events, USA Cycling has devised a two-tiered system aimed at striking a balance between fairness and inclusivity in the sport.
Starting on 1 January 2024, transgender athletes wanting to participate in USA Cycling-sanctioned events will be categorized as either Group A or Group B athletes, depending on their discipline and race category.
The UCI concluded that the current state of scientific knowledge no longer supported its existing policy and needed to take measures "to protect the female class and ensure equal opportunities."
