ATLANTA - Riley Gaines has secured a huge win in her bitter legal battle to kick biological men out of women's sport, it was reported on Thursday night.
The conservative activist and former collegiate swimmer has been outspoken in her criticism of transgender athletes, and is leading a group of 19 former and current female athletes in suing the NCAA.
It was reported by Outkick that a federal judge in Atlanta ruled on Thursday that the Title IX claims against the governing body can move forward to the next stage, in a big win for Gaines and her fellow female athletes.
The lawsuit surrounds NCAA policies that have allowed biological male athletes to compete in women's sports, and stems from the 2022 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, in which Lia Thomas won a national title.
At that event, Thomas - a biological male - used the women's locker rooms, showers and restrooms, after Georgia Tech hosted under an NCAA agreement that gave the association operational control of the venue.
'[Thomas] was full naked and, of course, full intact inches away from where we, 18-, 19-, 20-year-old girls, were fully undressed,' Gaines told Fox News in March.
