USA Gymnastics (USAG) could be the next major American sports governing body to change its policies on allowing trans athletes to compete with women.
The organization provided a statement to Fox News Digital addressing why its website pages for its transgender eligibility policies and resources were deleted.
“In May, USAG removed its policy to assess compliance with the current legal landscape,” the statement said.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Feb. 5 to ban trans athletes from women’s sports, and USA Fencing has already faced federal scrutiny over its rules that let males compete with females.
USAG’s previous policies were highly permissive to biological males who wished to compete in the women’s category.
One of the deleted webpages was a November 2020 announcement stating that the organization would no longer require trans athletes to undergo sex reassignment, legal gender recognition and hormone therapy in order to compete in the gender category of their choosing.
