April Hutchinson says she’s facing a ban by the Canadian Powerlifting Union, the governing body for powerlifting in Canada.

One of Canada’s top female athletes says she is being sanctioned for speaking out against transgender athletes in women’s sports.
April Hutchinson, a female powerlifter with Team Canada and a North American deadlift record holder, said on X, formerly Twitter, that she faces a ban by the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU), the governing body for powerlifting in Canada.

“I now face a 2-year ban by the CPU for speaking publicly about the unfairness of biological males being allowed to taunt female competitors & loot their winnings,” she posted.
