Leah Goldstein appeared on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich" and spoke about the controversy around her Israeli military service.

Leah Goldstein, a champion road racing cyclist who was barred from Inspire's International Women’s Day event in Canada due to her previous service in Israel’s military, said Monday she would reenlist if the country needed her again.

Goldstein was born in Canada but raised in Israel and served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) more than 30 years ago. Inspire invited Goldstein to speak at the March 8 event, but the invitation was revoked after an "extremely vocal group" took issue with it.

The Race Across America champion, who also won a world kickboxing championship when she was 17, appeared on OutKick’s "Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich" and said the organization wanted her to make a statement about the cancellation.
