statement released Monday afternoon. “This commitment is grounded in our values of inclusion and fair competition.“The NCAA has a long-standing policy that provides a more inclusive path for transgender participation in college sports.
Our approach — which requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women’s sports — embraces the evolving science on this issue and is anchored in participation policies of both the International Olympic Committee and the U.S.
Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Inclusion and fairness can coexist for all student-athletes, including transgender athletes, at all levels of sport.
