Transgender Athlete Who Ran In Female Category Beating Nearly 14,000 Women at A Marathon Offers To Give Back Her Medal (Photo)

 

A transgender woman has offered to return her finishing medal after beating nearly 14,000 runners  at the London Marathon.

 

She contested in the female category.

 

Glenique Frank, 54, from Northamptonshire, slammed claims that it was 'wrong and unfair' for her to compete in the female category of Sunday's mass race in London, crossing the line with a time of 4hr 11min 28sec.

 

She told the New York Post: 'If they want me to give my medal back, I'll say, "OK, fine. No problem,"' after the furore broke out on Sunday evening.

'But I don't want to apologize, because I didn't do anything wrong,' Frank insisted — adding she was just sorry for 'upsetting' critics, who she said were mainly 'haters.'

 

Frank, who finished 6,159th spot in the female category, intends to spend around £15,000 on 'top and bottom surgery' next year

'But I didn't compete as an elite, so I didn't steal any money,' she added.
