A couple of weeks ago, the New York Times had a puff piece article about the notorious cheater, "CeCe" (born Craig) Telfer and his quest to make the cut in this year's Tokyo Olympics. This 6-foot, 2-inch man is a competitive hurdler; however, he was ranked 200th among men in 2016, and a mere 390 among men in 2017. For some strange reason, Telfer took a break from competition and then, returning in 2019, became the national (NCAA) women's champion. Gee, I wonder why.
This year he was trying to break the barrier for "his people," and I don't mean black people, and I don't mean Jamaican-ancestry people. I mean crossdressers and transvestites (so-called "transgenders"), and to hell with what women competitors think. After all, his height definitely gives him an advantage of fewer steps, and the lower hurdles in women's events make it easier for him to clear them. He argued in this piece in the Daily Mail his height was a disadvantage because of wind resistance. Unfortunately for him, it was noted in the comments following this article that the world's fastest sprinter, Usain Bolt, is three inches taller. So much for that bullshit.
The good news for women athletes is this dude did not meet the qualifications for competition in the Olympic Games because his testosterone levels are too high. The testosterone limits are absurd anyway and screening should be strictly chromosomal, but few men would ever be able to lower their levels to 5 nonomoles per liter. It's still more than twice that of women. The 800-meter Rio women's race scandal, unmentioned by virtually none of the media, was the reason the limits were lowered for that event and no doubt spread to other events. Women are sick of this shit of being held up to ridicule by cheating males.
Further good news is Telfer will not appeal the ruling. Now people concerned with fairness need to put pressure on the US and NZ for allowing male cheaters in women's events. They need to be barred.
