Within days of the event, organizers removed Booker\u2019s title after learning she was born male, a revelation that surfaced when other competitors reportedly received explicit images from Booker\u2019s past career in adult entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjIxODMxMjQzMTQ5MzU0ODcw\/jammie2.jpg\" alt=\"A mirror selfie of Jammie Booker taken inside a gym, Photo Credit: Onedio\/X\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A mirror selfie of Jammie Booker taken inside a gym, Photo Credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/onedio\/status\/1994058880603631644\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Onedio\/X<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision ignited a fierce debate within the strength sports community about transparency and eligibility rules in women\u2019s competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booker has since taken to social media to question the ruling. In a message posted to her Instagram Story, she asked critics and sports organizations to identify the specific rule she allegedly violated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, can anyone actually show me the rule I violated?\u201d Booker wrote. \u201cI\u2019ve repeatedly been told that I violated a \u2018clearly stated policy,\u2019 but no one has been able to point to the exact policy they claim I broke.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a follow-up message, Booker listed several organizations she said maintain guidelines on transgender participation in sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjIxODMxMjQzMTQ5NDE5OTY5\/jammie3.jpg\" alt=\"Jammie Booker working out inside a gym, Photo Credit:\u00a0Onedio\/X\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jammie Booker working out inside a gym, Photo Credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/onedio\/status\/1994058880603631644\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Onedio\/X<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStrongman Corp., IFBB, IPF, Powerlifting USA, the IOC, USS Strongman,\u201d Booker wrote, referencing major governing bodies. \u201cAll of these organizations have rules related to transgender athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite her objections, event officials said the situation became clear once they learned more about Booker\u2019s background. According to organizers, competition rules require athletes to participate in divisions that correspond with their biological sex at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials said that if they had known about Booker\u2019s status before or during the contest, she would not have been allowed to compete in the women\u2019s division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHad this information been disclosed beforehand, the athlete would not have been eligible to compete in the Women\u2019s Open category,\u201d organizers said in a statement following the controversy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjIxODMxMjQzMTQ5NDIwNDA2\/jammie4.jpg\" alt=\"Contestants and Winners of 2025 World's Strongest Woman, Photo Credit: Keith Roberts\/Facebook\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Contestants and Winners of 2025 World&#8217;s Strongest Woman, Photo Credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/photo\/?fbid=10228182201974204&amp;set=a.1271497681488&amp;_rdc=1&amp;_rdr#\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Keith Roberts\/Facebook<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling reshaped the final standings of the competition. Andrea Thompson, who originally finished second, was elevated to champion after Booker\u2019s title was revoked. Thompson reportedly voiced frustration immediately after the event, criticizing the outcome as she stepped away from the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several other competitors later said they had no knowledge of Booker\u2019s biological sex prior to the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three-time champion Rebecca Roberts argued that transparency is essential to maintaining fairness in the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransgender women\u2014people born male\u2014should not be competing in women\u2019s divisions,\u201d Roberts said in a statement issued before the title was officially reassigned. \u201cNone of the athletes knew. The organizers didn\u2019t know either. When something like that comes to light after the fact, it damages trust.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fellow competitor Jade Dickens echoed that frustration in comments to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjIxODMxMjQzMTQ5NDg1NTA1\/jammie5.jpg\" alt=\"Jammie Booker holding up a trophy, Photo Credit: Christabel Shedrach\/Facebook\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jammie Booker holding up a trophy, Photo Credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/photo\/?fbid=1500910138289751&amp;set=pcb.1500910178289747&amp;_rdc=1&amp;_rdr#\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Christabel Shedrach\/Facebook<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was furious when I found out,\u201d Dickens said. \u201cIf I had known earlier, I would have taken action before the competition even ended.

The dispute has added fuel to a growing national conversation about fairness, eligibility rules, and transparency in women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World\u2019s Strongest Woman Winner Gets Stripped Of Her Title After The Truth Comes Out Months after losing the 2025 World\u2019s Strongest Woman title, athlete Jammie Booker says she is still&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3735,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/652749577_1369533991869700_4844173929723797569_n.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3734"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3734\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3736,"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3734\/revisions\/3736"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viralvibenews.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
