🚨Yet another women's national title has been stolen by a man.
Male athlete Ben "Vicki" Piper placed first in the "Women's" 55 age, 76 weight category of the 2025 USA Weightlifting Masters National Championships that took place in Atlanta, GA April 5th-6th of this year.
Piper came under criticism when he won the event last year, seemingly coming out of nowhere. He does not seem to have any prior history in the sport.
Although there were only three women registered in Piper's category, he lifted the 10th heaviest weight out of the 343 competitors in all age and weight categories at the championships.
The real national champion for the women's 55, 76 weight class is Kirstin Boddy.

Piper is a heterosexual man with children who began pretending to be a woman very recently in his 50s. His wife is a fitness trainer and also competes in powerlifting events. Piper seems like the typical transvestite who has taken over his wife's hobbies.
Piper joins fellow male athletes Hugo "Ana" Caldas (swimming), Fabrizio "Valentina" Petrillo (track & field), and Kyle "Caroline" Layt (track & field) as the fourth man to steal a women's national title in just the past two months, all in the masters category.
I cannot stress this enough, the women's masters category is one perhaps hit hardest by men pretending to be women, as the majority of men who do so, do so past 30, in their 40s, 50s, and even 60s, making them eligible for masters events but unable to be competitive with elite female athletes in their 20's (although they try).
