Inga Thompson,<\/a> a three-time Olympian who came out against cycling\u2019s transgender participation policy in wake of Austin Killips\u2019 Tour of the Gila win, said Friday she was surprised over the way her former team ridiculed her for her viewpoints.<\/p>\n

Thompson called for cyclists to protest against<\/a> Union Cycliste Internationale\u2019s (UCI) policy, including “taking a knee at the starting lines.” Later, Cynisca Cycling announced it has removed Thompson as director.<\/p>\n

“If shared in the absence of politics, Inga\u2019s knowledge and experience would benefit many and advance cycling for everyone,” the team said. “However, she has decided to dedicate her time to excluding people who are otherwise and currently eligible to compete in UCI events. She has also attempted to use our team as a platform for her political activity.”<\/p>\n

Thompson told The Telegraph she never used the team as a platform and was only “advocating for women\u2019s sports.”<\/p>\n

“When I first had the statement sent to me, I thought it was an internal document,” Thompson added. “Then, about an hour later, I realized it was a public document, and I was horrified. This is exactly why people don\u2019t speak up, because this is what happens when you do.”<\/p>\n

Thompson said she was not even the director at that point. She said she stopped the role 10 days before Cynisca\u2019s scathing statement.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m gobsmacked. I got taken off the team in late November, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I told them that I needed to step down because I needed to take care of my health,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I went through surgery and had a double mastectomy. I\u2019m cancer-free now. I don\u2019t understand the retaliation here. I don\u2019t throw wild stuff out there. I\u2019m pretty measured. I have made it clear that I\u2019m not attacking Austin, who is within rights to race. I\u2019m attacking policy.”<\/p>\n

RILEY GAINES URGES FEMALE ATHLETES TO BOYCOTT COMPETING AGAINST TRANS GIRLS: ‘DON\u2019T RUN … DON\u2019T SWIM’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Thompson won three silver medals at the UCI Road World Championships and a silver at the Pan American Games in 1987. She participated in three Olympics for the U.S.<\/p>\n

The UCI, the world governing body for sports cycling,\u00a0initially defended<\/a>\u00a0its participation policy but appeared to change its tone on Thursday, according to The Guardian.<\/p>\n

“The UCI\u2019s objective remains the same: to take into consideration, in the context of the evolution of our society, the desire of transgender athletes to practice cycling,” the organization said. “The UCI also hears the voices of female athletes and their concerns about an equal playing field for competitors and will take into account all elements, including the evolution of scientific knowledge.”<\/p>\n

Killips became the first transgender female to win a UCI stage race.<\/p>\n

The UCI tightened its rules\u00a0for transgender female<\/a>\u00a0riders to compete against biological females in its events. According to Reuters, the organization halved the maximum permitted plasma testosterone level to 2.5 nanomoles per liter and doubled the transition period to 24 months.<\/p>\n

Killips dismissed the uproar as “nonsense” in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
