A competitive bodybuilder has been stripped of her world championship title after it was discovered she was born a male.<\/p>\n

Jammie Booker <\/a>was crowned the World’s Strongest Woman during the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas last weekend.<\/p>\n

But event organizers posted a statement<\/a> <\/a>on social media Tuesday announcing they’ve been notified Booker was born a male and identifies as a female — which violates the contest’s rules.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The organizers have opened an investigation into how Booker made it into the Women’s Open category. They’ve tried to contact her, but didn’t receive an immediate response from Booker.<\/p>\n

The organizers allow all athletes to compete at the Official Strongman Games World Championships<\/a>, but they must compete in the category corresponding to their biological gender at birth.<\/p>\n

Booker’s since been disqualified, and hasn’t spoken publicly about the situation.<\/p>\n

British lifter Andrea Thompson — who originally came in second place and won the event in 2018 — has since been named the event champion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jammie Booker Stripped Of Championship Title After Birth Gender Discovered Published November 25, 2025 12:53 PM PST A…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151,223,154,12691,33804],"class_list":["post-64976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tmz-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
