Sixteen female athletes have filed a lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) pertaining to the continued participation of transgender participants in their respective sports in the US.
The Times reports that the lawyer of the student athletes has charged that the organisation has “institutionalised cheating and discrimination” against them in sports including swimming, volleyball, tennis and track and field.
[…] The suit charges that the NCAA has made a “radical departure from Title IX’s original meaning,” and is guilty of sex-based discrimination.
The complaint, filed in United States District Court in the northern district of Atlanta, Georgia, also points to hundreds of female athletes being forced to share changing facilities with Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who at the time still had “full male genitalia.”
