Breen was told by a female official at the English Championships that her sprint shorts were too short and inappropriate. In response, Breen tweeted that the incident left her speechless. She wrote,
“I am always very grateful to the incredible volunteers who officiate at athletic events. They do an amazing job and make it possible for us to compete. However, tonight I feel quite disappointed because just as I finished my long jump competition at the English Championships, one of the female officials felt it necessary to inform me that my spirit briefs were too short and inappropriate. I was left speechless. I have been wearing the same style spring briefs for many years and they are specifically designed for competing in. I will hopefully be wearing them in Tokyo. It made me question whether a male competitor would be similarly criticised. I hope no other female athletes had similar issues. I recognise that there needs to be regulations and guidelines in relation to competition kit but women should not be made to feel self conscious about what they are wearing when competing but should feel comfortable and at ease”
