Lia Thomas, NCAA athletes to testify in Georgia about competing against, sharing locker room with Riley Gaines.

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.

This month, the Georgia state Senate formed a committee to examine the issue of male athletes competing against females in sports.

The committee's initial investigation will center on the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, where Lia Thomas, a biological male swimmer representing the University of Pennsylvania women's swimming team, competed.

The NCAA championships saw Riley Gaines, the host of "Gaines for Girls," competing against and eventually tying with Thomas, who identifies as a woman, in the 200-yard races.

Thomas was reportedly forced to share a locker room with Gaines and other women involved in the tournament.

In March, Reka Gyorgy, Kylee Alons, Grace Countie, and Kaitlynn Wheeler, all members of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICWS), filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, alleging that the association knowingly violated Title IX by allowing Thomas to compete.

According to their lead attorney, William Bock III, the women athletes will explain how they were harmed by the actions of Georgia Tech University and the NCAA and what must be done to protect women in the future.

"Lt. Governor Burt Jones, R-Ga., stated in a committee announcement that his top priority is to guarantee that female athletes in Georgia have an equal and fair chance to compete, and he will not waver in his efforts. He added that he will not stand idly by while radical politicians, athletic associations, schools, and higher education institutions push policies that threaten this right."

The Georgia State Capitol will host the first hearing on Tuesday, Aug. 27.

Neither Georgia Tech University nor the NCAA responded to Planet Chronicle Digital's inquiries for comment.
