This is a good illustration of why the female category in sport needs to be protected across the board and not only at the elite level. Over-55 women deserve fair competition too. Brava again, Martina Navratilova.

I agree. Women have only recently achieved parity with prize money in major competitions and Womens sports were set up as we can't hope to win against men in competition where strength is required. It's just plain wrong.

Totally unfair.

Good for Martina. I notice the Daily Mail’s 151 comments are almost all in favour of keeping men out of women’s sports. Ordinary people don’t like cheats.

Thanks for the thread op. I saw this story and I'm glad someone's flagged it. Older women, amateur women deserve fair play too.
