Judge Forces USA Powerlifting to Cancel Minnesota Events over Policy Barring Males from Female Division

A Minnesota judge issued a ruling last week that blocked USA Powerlifting from hosting tournaments in the state over its decision to prohibit males from competing in the female division.

The order is part of an ongoing two-year legal battle and comes after the court mandated in February that USAPL change its “Transgender Participation Policy” to allow male inclusion in the female category within two weeks or face repercussions.
