Transgender athlete CeCe Telfer won’t be able to compete at the US Olympic trials due to being ‘ineligible’. The runner had been hoping to take part in the women’s 400-meter hurdles, but she hasn’t met the eligibility regulations set by World Athletics for certain women’s events. Had she qualified, she would have been one of the first openly transgender athletes to compete in an Olympic event. She’s not able to compete in this week’s trials due to guidelines set by World Athletics in 2019, which closed off international women’s events between 400 metres and a mile to athletes with testosterone levels of five nanomoles per litre or more, ESPN reports. Telfer would have had to sustain lower testosterone levels for a year.
