Glenique Frank, a biological male who identifies as a woman, has apologised for competing in the London Marathon in the female category after The Telegraph highlighted how the runner was able to exploit a loophole in UK Athletics’ updated transgender policy to take part.
After lining up in the recent New York and Tokyo Marathons as a man, Glen Frank, the 54-year-old was permitted to enter last Sunday’s race as a woman, Glenique, recording a time of 4hr 11min 28sec and finishing in 6,160th place in a female field of over 20,000. Frank has committed not to run another race as a female until undergoing surgery, also promising not to enter any women’s competitive races where there is prize money involved.
Frank’s apology comes in response to scathing comments from Mara Yamauchi, the third fastest British female marathon runner in history, who told The Telegraph: “World Athletics and UK Athletics have rules that post-puberty males competing in the female category is unfair. This male competed under UK Athletics’ transitional arrangements, but it is still wrong and unfair.”
Frank, who admitted to holding a male passport and to failing to have had any surgical transitioning procedure, said: “I apologise for entering under the female category because I haven’t had surgery yet. I wasn’t intending to mislead the public, but I apologise for entering under the female category.”

Everybody should point and laugh at him.
>> because I haven’t had surgery yet
Surgery won’t change your DNA, jackass. You’ll need a booster shot for that.
Okay it was a guy, who pretended to be a girl, a transvestite, sick.
It is a good thing that this male advantage only works in sports and not in deadly combat, where the fate of the nation rests on us winning.
Technically he is wearing a sports bra so that makes him a woman athlete.
Cut off whatever assclown. DNA still says male. Quit cheatng actual women out of money.
Won’t be long before sporting events will be like the Olympics during the Greek era - all male.
The important thing is, did he get to shower with the girls?
Like his hero Joey Brandon?!
“finishing in 6,160th place”
What a loser. Running against a bunch of ladies and he still couldn’t even break the top 1000????
Anybody tell him to F*** off?
All the Massholes aren’t only in Mass.
Did he get any pictures?
Would he be apologizing had he won the event?
Wait until he gets a bad infection in his new front hole from all that sweat in those spandex shorts.
whack his pee pee
I think we should get to throw a rock (not a stone) at him and clunk him in the noggin for screwing with the fabric of society, then drawing more attention to yourself by outing yourself as a rule breaker, and you feel bad for it.
Narcissist much?
