该体育管理机构在特朗普政府施压下,撤销了允许跨性别运动员参加女子体育比赛的诉讼。
The sports governing body rescinded its policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports amid pressure from the Trump administration.
美国联邦法官驳回了由前大学游泳运动员蕾莉·盖恩斯牵头、针对美国大学体育协会(NCAA)提起的诉讼。该诉讼指控称,NCAA允许跨性别运动员参加女子体育比赛,侵犯了她的权利。
A federal judge tossed a lawsuit led by former college swimmer Riley Gaines against the National Collegiate Athletic Association alleging the collegiate sports governing body violated her rights when it allowed transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports.
2024年,盖恩斯和十余名其他现任及前任大学运动员依据《教育法修正案第九条》起诉NCAA。该联邦教育法禁止基于性别的歧视。
Gaines and more than a dozen other current and former college athletes sued the NCAA in 2024 under Title IX, the federal education law barring sex-based discrimination.
诉讼的核心是NCAA一项现已废止的政策,该政策允许跨性别女性加入体育队,并使用符合其性别认同的设施。唐纳德·特朗普总统签署一项禁止跨性别运动员参加女子组和女童组体育队比赛的行政命令后,NCAA于次日撤销了这项政策。
At the center of the lawsuit was the association’s now defunct policy that allowed transgender women to compete on sports teams and use facilities that align with their gender identity. The NCAA rescinded the policy a day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that bars transgender athletes from competing on women’s and girls sports teams.
美国地区法官蒂芙尼·约翰逊周一裁定,NCAA不属于《教育法修正案第九条》的适用范围,因为“没有证据表明NCAA从联邦政府获得了联邦财政援助”。
U.S. District Judge Tiffany Johnson on Monday ruled the NCAA is not covered by Title IX because “there is no evidence that the NCAA received federal financial assistance” from the federal government.
