If she is, she will be able to compete at the NCAA Championships.\u00a0The CSMAS (the Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports) reviewed the policy, along with the new USA Swimming policy\u00a0 (5 nmol\/L) before making the decision.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The subcommittee decided implementing additional changes at this time could have unfair and potentially detrimental impacts on schools and student-athletes intending to compete in 2022 NCAA women&#8217;s swimming championships,&#8221; the NCAA wrote in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>This decision could also keep the NCAA from dealing with backlash, including litigation, based on rules changing during the middle of an academic school year.<\/p>\n<p>At its Jan. 19 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-committee-to-review-new-usa-swimming-transgender-policy-in-late-february\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meeting<\/a>, the NCAA Board of Governors approved updates\u00a0to the NCAA transgender student-athlete participation policy, which aligns participation with the Olympic movement.

Further, transgender athletes hoping to compete in women\u2019s events would also have to provide \u201cevidence that the prior physical development of the athlete as a male, as mitigated by any medical intervention, does not give the athlete a competitive advantage over the athlete\u2019s cisgender female competitors.\u201d Final determination of eligibility would be made by a panel.<\/p>\n<p>The NCAA decided not to adopt that policy for this school year, but will continue discussions in the future based on the USA Swimming policy.<\/p>\n<p>According to the NCAA release, USA Swimming&#8217;s new policy will be part of the subcommittee&#8217;s future analysis when recommending additional updates to eligibility requirements for <a class=\"sidearm-sports-file-link-read sidearm-sports-file-link-processed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncaa.org\/sports\/2022\/1\/27\/transgender-participation-policy.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phase Two (2022-23 academic year) and Phase Three (2023-24 academic year)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Visit\u00a0<a class=\"sidearm-sports-file-link-read sidearm-sports-file-link-processed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncaa.org\/sports\/2022\/1\/27\/transgender-participation-policy.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ncaa.org\/transgender<\/a>\u00a0for more on the NCAA&#8217;s transgender student-athlete participation policy, including an updated\u00a0<a class=\"sidearm-accessible-pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com\/inclusion\/lgbtq\/SSI_TransgenderSADeadlinesAndThresholds.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"list (PDF)\">list <span class=\"sidearm-accessible-pdf-label\">(PDF)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of testosterone thresholds that clarifies divisional differences in submission deadlines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCAA Won&#8217;t Adopt USA Swimming Guidelines For Transgender Participation;
