Sharron Davies, the Olympic swimming medallist, has condemned remarks made at a Holyrood committee where it was claimed there was no evidence to prove trans-identifying athletes pose a threat to women’s participation in sport.
Heidi Vistisen, policy manager at Leap Sport Scotland, which promotes LGBTI participation in sport, made the remarks during a health committee session where she insisted no proof existed that biological males got an unfair advantage when competing in women’s sporting events.
