The announcement created a new category for open races, allowing 'all racers, regardless of gender identification,' to compete.
A cycling organizer announced a change to its gender classifications last week after a transgender cyclist recently won a Belgian Waffle Ride race.
"Female: In the interest of protecting the parity of sports between women and men, racers who were born female may compete in the classification," the release said. The announcement also states that the male category will allow individuals"who were born and/or identify as male may compete in this classification." In addition, there will be an open category, which is open to"all racers, regardless of gender identification, [who] may compete in this classification.
"Belgian Waffle Ride will not require proof of eligibility for racers competing in specific classifications before an event. We may require validation of eligibility of specific racers on a case-by-case basis if needed to ensure the integrity of each classification," the statement continued."Racers can also request confirmation of eligibility verification of competitors by Belgian Waffle Ride via an anonymous process. We will take all such requests into consideration.
