For critics, the big wrinkle here lies somewhere between her margin of victory -- the second-place finisher lifted about 41 pounds (19 kg) less than her -- and the fact that Hubbard competed as a man before her transition.
"We all deserve to be on an even playing field,"
Hubbard, 39, began transitioning in her 30s. Before that, she competed in weightlifting events as Gavin Hubbard.
Despite the controversy, Olympic rules state Hubbard is within her right to compete. IOC guidelines for female transgender athletes only require that the athletes pass a series of hormone tests, which Hubbard did.
In my opinion it should count as doping since a transitioning doesn't affect the heart, cardiovascular system and blood that much. Should trans get their own class or compete in the one they were born in?
