She went on to talk about the strength advantage of the biological male over the female in her sport.she Said:
This is a huge advantage of being able to cast longer distances than any woman. They have the ability to do this while using stronger equipment, such as stiffer and stronger rods.

I personally have no grudges. While this is an advantage for our team, we believe it is totally unfair to other countries. Transgender athletes are ruining our sport and the Angling Trust will not listen to us. So me and the team decided to withdraw.
