>Oregon track star Alexa Anderson has revealed she was ordered away from the high jump podium by angry officials after she protested the inclusion of a trans athlete.
Anderson and fellow competitor Reese Eckard were filmed refusing to step onto the podium during the medal ceremony, in an apparent protest of a fifth-place finisher who is reportedly transgender.
Rather than taking their spots on the podium, footage obtained by Fox News showed the girls turning their backs to the crowd before being ushered away from the ceremony by an official.
Now, Anderson has revealed that the official was apparently deeply unimpressed by the gesture.
She told Fox: 'We stepped off the podium in protest and, as you can see, the official kind of told us "hey, go over there, if you’re not going to participate, get out of the photos".
