Trans athlete Cece Telfer competing in a women’s event is “simply cheating” former Great Britain Olympic medal winner Sharron Davies declared Monday.

Her comment came after Telfer  became the first openly transgender athlete to win an NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) title back in 2019 and was running in the Women’s Invitational 60m hurdles in Boston in February.

The Daily Mail reports he had qualified for the final of the event, finishing fifth in the preliminary races, but would reportedly go on to disqualify himself during the deciding race.

A picture posted on social media of Telfer sparked the response from Davies.

A video was also posted of Telfer preparing for the race, with the sprinter seen jumping up and down and loosening joints while stood at the starting blocks.
