Riley Gaines and Fellow Athletes Take Legal Action Against NCAA

Riley Gaines and a group of athletes are set to sue the NCAA over its transgender policy, aiming to challenge the participation of biologically born men in women’s sports.

Gaines, a swimming and women’s rights advocate, announced the legal action, asserting that the policy has deprived female athletes of titles, records, and roster spots.

Organized by the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS), the lawsuit seeks to change NCAA rules and ensure fair competition. The initiative reflects growing concerns about the impact of transgender policies on women’s sports and underscores the athletes’ commitment to upholding fairness and equality.
