Tiffany Thomas, the 46-year-old transgender winner, began cycling in 2018 and has dominated the sport ever since, including clinching a spot on a top cycling team, LA Sweat, where the next oldest teammate is only 32 years old.
“Last race with our 2022 LA Sweat team kit. I’m not going to lie, sometimes it made me feel like a superhero when I wore it,” Thomas noted in an Instagram post.
Thomas’ LA Sweat Team profile biography states the biological male works as a lab director as “a scientist by day, athlete by night.”
“You will never see anyone with a bigger smile than when she sees a beautiful electron microscopy picture of a red cell,” the biography notes. “She has never met a barbell, a bike, or a dog that she doesn’t like. She is so incredibly excited to race and represent the LA Sweat team this year!”
Other female cyclists are not thrilled over Thomas’ win, to say the least, accusing the trans cyclist of “cheating.”
“Not fair at all. At the Randall’s Island Crit #3 over the weekend, transgender athlete Tiffany Thomas was seen at the top of the podium while two women followed in second and third place. A crit race, or criterium, is a lapped, closed-circuit race that usually takes place in cities, according to http://Bicycling.com,” one person tweeted.
