- Sara Symington among 76 women signing letter
- UCI asked rescind rule to ‘guarantee fairness for female athletes’
The head of British Cycling’s Olympic and Paralympic programme has signed a letter calling for a rule change that would stop transgender cyclist Emily Bridges from competing in women’s events.
Sara Symington, who rode at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics and is now one of the most senior figures in British sport, is among 76 woman who have urged cycling’s governing body, the UCI, to rescind its rules for trans women to “guarantee fairness for female athletes”.
