Former college athlete Riley Gaines filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on Thursday, criticizing the organization’s policies for transgender athletes.
“I’m suing the NCAA along with 15 other collegiate athletes who have lost out on titles, records, & roster spots to men posing as women,” Gaines wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “The NCAA continues to explicitly violate the federal civil rights law of Title IX. About time someone did something about it.”
According to Fox News Digital, a portion of the lawsuit demands that the NCAA be required by a judge to have any “awards, records, points, prizes, titles, trophies, announcements or other recognition,” given to “any male who competed in women’s events or on a women’s team,” be rendered “invalid.”
This is a developing story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
