- UKA wants to have female-born and open categories
- Ian Beattie says equality laws prevent change at present
UK Athletics has announced that it wants to ban transgender women from female events on fairness grounds – but claims it can’t do so unless the government changes the law.
UKA’s new transgender position, released on Friday, indicates that it wants to go down a similar path to British Triathlon, the Rugby Football Union and Rugby Football League, who have all sought to protect the female sport category on fairness and/or safety grounds.
