A federal judge ruled Monday that a volleyball player for the San Jose State University women's team, who is at the center of controversy about transgender athletes, can compete in this week's conference tournament.
Judge S. Kato Crews, with the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, denied the emergency motion for a preliminary injunction filed this month against the Mountain West Conference.
"San José State University will continue to support its student-athletes and reject discrimination in all forms," the university said said.
"All San José State University student-athletes are eligible to participate in their sports under NCAA and Mountain West Conference rules."
The Mountain West Conference has said it is taking the suit’s allegations seriously.
