Emily Bridges: British Cycling ban ends Olympic aspirations

Trans cyclist Emily Bridges has told ITV News that she's all but given up on elite sport after British Cycling banned her from competing in women's events.

The decision last year crushed her hopes of representing Great Britain at this summer's Paris Olympics.

The athlete says the ban stops women from competing as women - and that's wrong for her and all other trans competitors.
