Contact Your Elected Officials

U.S. Masters Swimming, which allowed men to compete in womenโ€™s events, said that it was fully cooperating with the attorney generalโ€™s investigation.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued an adult swimming organization last week after it allowed transgender athletes to compete at a womenโ€™s spring meet in San Antonio, with one getting first place in multiple events.

Paxtonโ€™s July 16 suit contains five counts of legal allegations against U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS), stating that it โ€œundermined the trust of consumers through false, deceptive, and misleading practices.โ€

The suit alleges that USMS createdย โ€œconfusion or misunderstanding as to the source, sponsorship, approval, or certification of goods or servicesโ€ by leading consumers to believe the events were open to โ€œbiological womenโ€ only.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued an adult swimming organization last week after it allowed transgender athletes to compete at a womenโ€™s spring meet in San Antonio, with one getting first place in multiple events.

Paxtonโ€™s July 16 suit contains five counts of legal allegations against U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS), stating that it โ€œundermined the trust of consumers through false, deceptive, and misleading practices.โ€

The suit alleges that USMS created โ€œconfusion or misunderstanding as to the source, sponsorship, approval, or certification of goods or servicesโ€ by leading consumers to believe the events were open to โ€œbiological womenโ€ only.

It said the defendants failed to disclose that their โ€œwomenโ€™s sporting events were actually mixed sporting eventsโ€ that allowed men who identified as women to compete.

The lawsuit also alleges that USMS โ€œknew that if consumers knew that males were competing in their womenโ€™s competitions,โ€ then โ€œbiological femalesโ€ would forgo participation in the events.

Paxtonโ€™s suit also operates as a lien notice on the swimming organizationโ€™s property within Texas.

In filing the lawsuit, the attorney general is asking the court for $10,000 in civil penalties, permanent injunctive relief, attorneysโ€™ fees and expenses, and โ€œany and all further relief to which the State may be entitled.โ€

USMS responded to Paxtonโ€™s allegations in a statement, saying it was fully cooperating with the attorney generalโ€™s investigation.
