HOBART, Tasmania - A 47-year-old transsexual was cleared to play in an Australian women's soccer league after spending 25 years in men's leagues.

Martine Delaney, who used compete as Martin Delaney, received approval from Soccer Tasmania this week. She had a sex-change operation more than two years ago.

Delaney, a human rights activist for many years, is surprised she has become front-page news in Australia.
