SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah high school athletics association secretly investigated a female athlete without telling her or her parents after receiving complaints from the parents of two girls she had defeated in competition questioning whether the girl was transgender. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the Utah High School Activities Association and the girl’s high school determined she in factr female after poring through her school records dating back to kindergarten. The investigation happened as at least 12 Republican-led states including Utah passed laws banning transgender women or girls in sports. Utah’s ban faces a court challenge.
