Martina Navratilova has apologised for using the word “cheating” when she discussed transgender athletes competing in women’s sport during her column in The Sunday Times.
The tennis legend was dropped by Athlete Ally after the piece, but in her latest blog post she wrote: “I’m sorry for that because I certainly was not suggesting that transgender athletes in general are cheats.”
Navratilova, though, insists there are major concerns adding: “We all need to realize that there is no perfect solution in which nobody will ever be wronged or disadvantaged. There is no blanket rule that will solve all issues.”
