“Thank you, USA Weightlifting, for hosting such a well thought out and supportive event here in Reno, Nevada,” Piper wrote.
USA Weightlifting’s rules allow transgender athletes to compete if they have undergone two years of hormone therapy to minimize advantages related to gender.
Videos showed Piper easily performing lifts while towering over opponents on the winner’s platform.
