Second and third-place cycling winners refused to appear at the medal ceremony after transgender woman Lesley Mumford won first place in the 100-mile Desert Gravel Co2Ut.
Mumford posted a picture on Instagram standing at the podium alone but smiling and holding the first-place medal.
“I have no idea why so many people bailed before the podiums, but they did,” Mumford wrote.
From Fox News:
Former Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines took to Twitter and said, "Enough is enough!" "Empty podium except for the male who naturally finished atop all the women in the women’s category. Despite there being a non-binary/trans category he easily could have competed in. Keep it up girls!" Gaines wrote in a tweet.
