TRANNY RUNNER JAILED IN COCK ROW STABBING Furious as race official wanted her to compete as a MALE

FRENZIED ATTACK: Trans athlete Jeska A FORMER champ female fell-runner has been jailed for 18 years for trying to kill an official after British Athletics threatened to strip her of her titles because she was born a man.

Lauren Jeska left Ralph Knibbs with life-threatening stab injuries after taking two knives to his office at Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium in March last year.

Two of former rugby player Mr Knibbs’ colleagues were also injured after tackling Jeska as she launched what prosecutors called a “frenzied” assault. neck “as though she were trying to skewer meat”.

Birmingham Crown Court heard the knife attack took place after a row over Jeska’s testosterone levels.

The prosecutor told the court: “The defendant is a transgender athlete in dispute with UK Athletics about eligibility to compete as a male athlete.

“She had not provided the relevant samples to her testosterone levels and other relevant documentation.”

As a result, her racing results had been declared null and void, the court heard.

The week before the attack, Mr Knibbs had gone to meet Jeska at her home to discuss the “long-term” issue with the sporting governing body.

Sentencing Jeska, the judge said her crime had been a “cool, calculated attack” which had been ‘wholly unprovoked’.
