US EditionInvestigation launched against U.S. Masters Swimming over allegedly transgender athlete
- In April 2025, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton initiated an inquiry into U.S. Masters Swimming following the participation of a transgender athlete in the women’s 45-49 age division at the Spring Nationals held in San Antonio.
- The investigation follows concerns that U.S. Masters Swimming's policy allowing transgender women to compete in their identified gender may violate Texas law and mislead female competitors about fairness.
- Ana Caldas, a 47-year-old transgender swimmer formerly competing as a male named Hugo, won all five races she entered, including the 50-yard breaststroke and 100 IM, igniting controversy among female participants.
- Paxton described the policy as "reprehensible" and emphasized his commitment to protecting the integrity of women's sports, warning that it may breach consumer protection laws and reflects a serious disrespect toward women.
- The outcome may influence U.S. Masters Swimming's transgender participation rules and add momentum to Texas legislation restricting trans athletes in female sports categories.
