Debbie Milne tells ‘Fox & Friends’ she supports runner-up refusing to stand next to biological male who won race
Veteran female cyclists are speaking out against USA Cycling after they claim the organization failed to disclose the participation of a transgender athlete in a recent race.
“It was hidden from us,” competitor Debbie Milne told “Fox & Friends” Thursday.
Milne, who placed seventh in the Lyons Masters National Championships in Wisconsin, explained she and fellow cyclists typically review the list of registered athletes ahead of a race to assess the competition. But she said neither she nor Julie Peterson, who placed in second, saw the name of a transgender competitor, Kate “KJ” Phillips, on the entry list.
“Catherine Phillips, KJ’s name, was not on that list. And I checked it up all the way to the point of closure when we couldn’t register online anymore,” said Milne.
