Riley Gaines, NCAA athletes to testify in Georgia about competing against, sharing locker room with Lia Thomas
'Gaines for Girls' host and OutKick contributor Riley Gaines gives her take on controversy after a boxer deemed to have male chromosomes won a women's Olympic fight on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'
FIRST ON FOX: Five NCAA All-American Women Athletes, including OutKick.com contributor Riley Gaines, will testify in Georgia about their experience competing against and sharing a locker room with a biological male.
Earlier this month, the Georgia state Senate established a Special Select Committee on Women’s Sports to analyze the issue of biological males competing against female athletes.
Fox News Digital learned that the first topic of the committee's inquiry will focus on the 2022 National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships, where biological male swimmer, Lia Thomas, competed for the University of Pennsylvania women’s swimming team.
The hearings will feature testimony from Riley Gaines, the host of "Gaines for Girls" who competed against and eventually tied with Thomas, who identifies as a woman, in the 200-yard NCAA championships.
