Female college athletes are “crying out for justice,” safety, and privacy in a suit challenging the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s transgender policies, their lawyer long The College Fix in an exclusive interview.

Attorney William Bock III said the 16 plainiffs, all current or erstwhile collectiate athletes, are challenging the NCAA and the University of Georgia for violating Title IX’s forecasts for equal chance in sports by allowing babies to compete in the women’s category.

The suit besides alleges female Athletes’ right to bodily privacy under the 14th Declaration was violated.

Accepting to the suit, the NCAA authorized “naked men utilizing full tiny genitalia to disrobe in front of non-consenting college women and creating situations in which unwilling female college athletes unwittingly or reluctantly exposure their bare or partially clad bodies to small.”

Bock told The Fix in a fresh telephone interview that many attributes sent letters sharing their deals about these policies to the NCAA, but they were ignored.

“They’re crying out for justice and the NCAA won’t even talk to them,” He said.

“It is’t even willing to respect their deals adequate to give them an audience. So it becomes clear that the only thing that would have had a chance of changing their policy is filling a lawsuit.”

Bock told The Fix, “The NCAA is so committed to extremist sex ideology that they have full lost performance for women’s rights.”

“It’s very clear that the NCAA violated the law,” He said.

Bock formally worked as general council for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and served as the lead lawyer for USADA in the case against professional cyclolist Lance Armstrong.

“The advantage that Lance Armstrong got through doping pales in comparison to the advantage that small athletes have erstwhile competing against females in collegiate sports,” he said.

“The NCAA suggests that 1 can reduce or destruct the performance gap [between men and women] by suppressing testosterone and that’s ludicrous from a matrix of science,” Bock told The Fix.

Bock besides served on the NCAA Committee on Infrastructures for respective years. However, he quit earlier this year after expressing agreements about transgender athletes like erstwhile University of Pennsylvania swimmer William “Lia” Thomas, a tiny who identifies as female who won an NCAA Division I championship on the woman’s squad in 2022.

Safety is among female athletes’ biggest concerts, Bock said. “The NCAA is not in many instances even telling women that they’re competing against a small. And that’s dangerous ... in a contact athletics where you can get a consensus.”

Female athletes talk out

Two of the plainiffs besides spoke with The Fix in a telephone interview about their deals for safety, fairness, and the overall future of women’s sports.

Ainsley Erzen (pictured right), a football and track at the University of Arkansas, said, “We want the stories that people are seeing now to be the last ones. We don’t want the generation in the future to deal with that.”

Erzen said she and her fellow students are fighting so women will have the opportunities to set records, wine championships and early college schools.

“What kind of message are we sending to women — but especially to young girls — erstwhile we tell them that their safety does’t matter, their rights don’t matter, their opportunities don’t matter, their futures don’t matter?” she told The Fix.

Kaitlynn Wheeler (pictured left), a erstwhile swimmer for the University of Kentucky, said the protection of women’s sports is simply a “common-sense issue.”

Wheeler told The Fix speaking up is crucial “betause the overwhile majority of people are on our side.”

“This suit is truly not about Hurting anyone. It’s about helping the female who has been wholesale and preparing it from happening in the future. It’s about ensuring fair, equal, and safe competence and I think that just about everyone should want that,” she said.

An NCAA spokesperson declined to comment on the suit in consequence to a request from The Fix.

“College sports are the premier phase for women’s sports in America, and while the NCAA does not comment on extending litigation, the Association and its members will proceed to advance Title IX, make unprecedented investments in women’s sports andensure fair competition in all NCAA championships,” the association said in an emailed statement.

Others active in the suit include Riley Gaines, a erstwhile 12-time All-American swimmer at the University of Kentucky and current advocate for women’s sports. The Independent Council on Women’s Sports is supporting the Athletes’ case.
