In a shocking turn of events, American athlete Jammie Booker has been disqualified as the 2025 World's Strongest Woman after competition organizers discovered that she identifies as a male-at-birth individual. The decision has sparked a heated debate on transgender participation in sports, reigniting a global conversation. According to sources, Booker had narrowly defeated Britain's Andrea Thompson for the crown, but the title has now been awarded to Thompson. Australian athlete Allira-Joy Cowley has been promoted to second place in the Women's Open category. In a statement, the organizers of the Official Strongman Games World Championship explained that they had stringent rules in place, mandating that competitors participate in the category matching their biological sex at birth. The statement read, "We are inclusive and welcoming to all athletes, but it is our responsibility to ensure fairness and assign athletes to men's or women's categories based on their birth records.
