Transgender runner known for dominating women’s track disqualified from US Olympic trials
June 24, 2021 | Vivek Saxena

A young “transgender woman” known for crushing his female opponents in college track-and-field championships has been disqualified from participating in the upcoming U.S. Olympic trials.

CeCe Telfer, formally named Craig Telfer, is notorious for winning the 400-meter women’s hurdles at the NCAA Division II outdoor track-and-field championships. However, Telfer will not be winning any titles at the upcoming Olympics.

“Telfer was entered in this week’s trials but was ultimately not allowed to compete because of guidelines World Athletics released in 2019 that closed off international women’s events of between 400 meters and a mile to athletes who did not meet the eligibility requirements,” the Associated Press confirmed Thursday.

The requirement that he reportedly failed to meet stipulated that his testosterone level had to be below 5 nonomoles per liter for at least 12 months.

I'm not sure what Mr. Telfer's personal best is in the 400 hurdles (as a woman), but it seems to be the 57.53 he ran in the NCAA D-II championships. The Olympic qualifying standard is 56.50. Even "Out Sports" acknowledges:

The qualifying time for the event is 56.50, but USATF also says there will be 28 athletes in the field. She is listed as “accepted” for the women’s 400-meter hurdles Olympic Trials with a posted time of 57.53, but only 17 women are listed as “qualified” due to the lack of opportunities to compete and train for the qualifying time. Telfer’s posted time is the 28th fastest.

Had he competed in the trials and won, unless he bested 56.50, he wouldn't be going to Japan anyway.

Meanwhile, actual female competitors Delilah Muhammed and Sydney McLaughlin both have run sub-53 seconds on multiple occasions.

There is always this option for him if he wants to continue his career in sports:4

A biological male was barred from competing in the women’s 400-meter Olympic hurdle event due to high testosterone levels.

CeCe Telfer, a transgender runner who previously won the NCAA title as a ‘woman,’ is now trying to compete as a woman in the Olympics.

Telfer used to compete in the men’s division at Division II Franklin Pierce, but after losing, he ‘transitioned’ into a female and became a superstar.

“Telfer was entered in this week’s trials but was ultimately not allowed to compete because of guidelines World Athletics released in 2019 that closed off international women’s events of between 400 meters and a mile to athletes who did not meet the eligibility requirements. Among those requirements was that their testosterone levels had to be below 5 nonomoles per liter (nmol/L) for a span of 12 months.” – AP reported.

CeCe Telfer is the first openly transgender woman to win an NCAA title, but will not be allowed to compete in the women’s 400-meter hurdles at the U.S. Olympic trials after failing to meet the World Athletics eligibility regulations.

Telfer had been entered in this week’s Olympic trials but was ruled ineligible based on the new guidelines released by World Athletics in 2019. According to Yahoo Sports, those guidelines are for international women’s athletes that compete in events between 400 meters and one mile and include that athletes’ testosterone levels must be below 5 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) for a span of 12 months.

“Following notification from World Athletics on June 17 that the conditions had not yet been met, USATF provided CeCe with the eligibility requirements and, along with World Athletics, the opportunity to demonstrate her eligibility so that she could compete at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials,” USATF (USA Track & Field) said. “ According to subsequent notification to CeCe from World Athletics on June 22, she has not been able to demonstrate her eligibility.”

Take a look at this female imposter's legs.  Those are the legs of a man, not a woman.  I wonder if "she" will go back to being a male?

The trials were held last night. Telfer wouldn't have come anywhere close to these times:

EUGENE, Ore. — Sydney McLaughlin‘s first US Olympic Trials went pretty well: in 2016, a 16-year-old McLaughlin ran 54.15 in the 400-meter hurdles to become the youngest American track & field Olympian since 1972. McLaughlin’s second Olympic Trials went even better: today, she ran 51.90 to win her first US title and break the world record of 52.16 set by Dalilah Muhammad in the 2019 World Championship final.

Muhammad led this race entering the home straight, but McLaughlin took the lead coming off hurdle nine and sprinted away from her rival over the final 50 meters to become the first woman ever under 52 seconds. ...

Plus, there's no mistaking Sydney for a guy (unlike "Cece").
