Trans athletes have no advantage over women, study claims Researchers argue there is no evidence to justify a blanket ban on transgender athletes competing against women
Trans athletes who were born male have no advantage over women, a British Medical Journal (BMJ) study has claimed.
The researchers argued there was no evidence “to justify blanket bans” on trans women taking part in women’s sport.
The team looked at the strength, fitness and body composition of transgender people taking cross-sex hormones compared to women and men not taking drugs.
Authors of the study, which was published in BMJ Group-owned British Journal of Sports Medicine, said its findings challenged “assumptions” that trans women had an inherent advantage in sport.
