The Canadian Powerlifting Union has suspended a professional female bodybuilder for two years because she criticized the union's decision to allow men to compete against women in the sport.
April Hutchinson announced on her X account Tuesday that she was facing a two-year suspension by the CPU in response to recent comments she made about the unfairness of allowing men who self-identify as female to compete against women and "loot their winnings."
“I now face a 2-year ban by the CPU for speaking publicly about the unfairness of biological males being allowed to taunt female competitors & loot their winnings,” Hutchinson wrote.
