Cece Telfer, champion transgender hurdler, ruled ineligible for US Olympic trials​

Telfer's manager said his client would accept the ruling​




Cece Telfer, a transgender woman who won an NCAA Division II championship in 2019, was ruled ineligible Wednesday to compete in the U.S. Olympic trials.

USA Track and Field (USATF) said in a statement Telfer failed to meet the World Athletic requirements to be eligible for trials. She had initially been on the list for Friday’s opening heats but an updated list Wednesday did not include her name.

World Athletics’ guidelines, released in 2019, stated that female athletes’ testosterone levels were at 5 nanomoles per liter or more were barred from events between distances of 400 meters and a mile. Telfer was readying to compete in the women’s 400-meter hurdles at Olympic trials.

USATF said it "strongly supports inclusivity and providing a clear path to participation in the sport for all, while also maintaining competitive fairness."

Telfer won an NCAA title at Franklin Pierce University.

"If CeCe meets the conditions for transgender athlete participation in the future, we wholeheartedly back her participation in international events as a member of Team USATF."

USATF said it was notified last week Telfer did not meet the conditions.

David McFarland, Telfer’s manager, told the Associated Press his client would respect the decision of the USATF and World Athletics.

"CeCe has turned her focus towards the future and is continuing to train," he said. "She will compete on the national -- and world -- stage again soon."

According to World Athletics’ rules, an athlete must stay below the threshold for 12 months. The organization said transgender female athletes can lower their testosterone level using an oral contraceptive pill, hormone therapy pills or having surgery to remove their testicles.

Telfer won an NCAA title in 2019 as a member of the Franklin Pierce University. She had previously competed for the men’s team, took time off, then competed for the women’s team.

"I love what I'm doing and I'm getting to live my truth and live my authentic life. I believe that this is my way of being the change that I want to see in the world. And I live by that every single day," she said in a blog post for Women’s Health last week.

Telfer told OutSports in 2019 she had no extra benefit in her races by being transgender. She said her height and the distance between hurdles were part of the disadvantages she faced. She said hormone suppression isn’t helping her either.

"So it’s crazy! I’m the crazy one, to be the weakest female, the weakest link in the chain, to be competing against the top ones. I should be fingered as the stupid one, for wanting to do that in the first place," she added.

Trans women are biological creatures and thus biological women. Testosterone level in women are a spectrum and saying men have higher levels than women is outdated, simplistic, and disproven biology.

Thanks, East Germany!

Yes, you are the weakest one. That is why you shit on all the females just like you would before any transition.
 
Totally a woman...

Holy shit that tranny demolished the competition. The rest of those girls were neck and neck but they literally had no chance. Can any female athlete look at that and think that it's a fair competition? I'd be pretty pissed, especially since this dude couldn't cut it in the men's side and is basically slumming it in the women's side.

Should be noted that he's far behind the actual best women. His time in that race was 57.53 (Which I think is his personal best), which is several seconds behind the yearly best so far at 52.83, set by Sydney McLaughlin (Who's also younger than Cece).

So what is really going on is that he went from being a complete nobody competing against the men, to making a name for himself by shitting on the second rate women. This seems to be an one going theme among these tranny athletes.

It would be amazing if he got to go to the Olympics and still lost to the real women.

I'm not a sportsball guy, but I would assume that 5 seconds is a wide margin in the industry. Even assuming that, that's still better than like what, at least 60-80% of the women that compete. Now what would happen if we compare that to a man in the same category, is that even approaching the top tiers or is it unremarkable? I really wouldn't know so if anyone could clear that up that'd be cool.

Yes, that's a large gap. He's well behind the world elite.

To make the same comparison against the men, the best time so far this year is 47.13, over 10 seconds better.

I assume these are his personal bests:

....and those are terrible times. He would have trouble against 14 year old boys.

He's trying to tell us that he's at a disadvantage because of the distance between the hurdles for women, but that is bullshit. There are 10 hurdles for both men and women. But the women's hurdles are much lower than the men's, so being large enough to barely have to jump the hurdles is an advantage.
 
Unfortunately this isn't really a victory. Taking drugs to adjust your testosterone levels shouldn't allow you to compete in women's events. You're still a man.

Also, what is the actual medical justification for testosterone suppression. Every effect of it would be classed as a negative side-effect of any other drug. Desire to compete in women's sports is not a medical justification for drug treatment so what is the justification doctor's give for prescribing it?
