World cycling's governing body has ruled transgender women will be prevented from competing in female events. The stance follows a similar decision by British Cycling, with the UCI seeking "to protect the female class". The UCI said anyone who has transitioned after male puberty could compete in a 'men/open' category. Female American transgender cyclist Austin Killips won a UCI women's event two months ago. In the wake of that result, the world body reopened consultation on the issue, saying it heard "the voice of female athletes and their concerns about an equal playing field for competitors". The UCI has renamed the male category 'men/open' and added "any athlete who does not meet the conditions for participation in women's events will be admitted without restriction".
