Olympic medalist Sharron Davies: Transgender women in women’s sports ‘10 times worse’ than East German doping
The doped-up East German athletes were dominant for a time in women’s swimming, rowing and track-and-field, she said, but male-born transgender athletes have enjoyed success across a far larger swath of women’s sports.
Davies, who competed in three Olympic Games for the United Kingdom, compared the situation to the heyday of East German doping, when the Soviet bloc nation would bring in sometimes-unheralded steroid-infused women. Some Western athletes cried foul even then, and the masculinity of East German female athletes became a pop-culture punchline.
