British Cycling Bans Trans Cyclists ... After Emily Bridges' Disqualification

British Cycling is now banning transgender athletes from participating in their races ... just a week after trans cyclist Emily Bridges was disqualified from the women's championship.

It's a bit surprising because British Cycling has a Transgender and Non-binary Participation Policy that seemingly allows trans cyclist to compete.

But, since the incident with Bridges -- when the Union Cycliste Internationale banned her from the April 2nd race because she was registered as a male cyclist -- the board voted this week to suspend the policy.
