You're asking me to read the article, but nothing in the article stipulates as much, except an anecdote from the team coach, which doesn't say Becky can cast 150 meters, but says "Men can."
This is the statement from the body overseeing this sport:
https://anglingtrust.net/2023/06/13/angling-trust-clarifies-transgender-participation-policy-following-england-ladies-shore-team-resignations/
Other articles about the same thing repeatedly say: "The Angling Trust has denied claims that transgender women have a physical advantage in fishing."
So if the Angling Trust is defending her, and they aren't changing the rules unless told to by a larger sports body, who is this sports body that "proved" this, then?
There are literally zero articles that support the idea that a sports overseeing body tested it and found out. I think you're fucking misreading this shit, man. But I suppose that's what you got for taking anything printed in The Daily Fail seriously.
