U.S. Masters Swimming competitor Angie Griffin says she has been cleared of an unsportsmanlike-conduct grievance that left her wondering for eight months whether she would be expelled from the organization, simply for speaking out against trans athletes in women’s competitions.<\/p>\n

But Griffin says she still cannot access the organization\u2019s online community forum\u2014the same platform where she sought support for changing its transgender-athlete policy.<\/p>\n

“I had the actual hearing last month, and in less than a week, I received the resolution, which was that I was not found guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct,” Griffin told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“It was eight months of wondering if I was gonna be kicked out of swimming over a grievance that should have never been brought up in the first place.”<\/p>\n

The grievance stemmed from Griffin\u2019s posts on the USMS community forum<\/a>, where she advocated for aligning the organization\u2019s eligibility rules more closely with World Aquatics and referred to a transgender competitor as a man.<\/p>\n

USMS previously confirmed<\/a> that an individual member\u2014not the organization itself\u2014filed a grievance related to its code of conduct. Griffin said at the time that the case could have resulted in the removal of her swimming times and honors or her expulsion from USMS.<\/p>\n

That threat is now gone, Griffin said.<\/p>\n

Her forum restriction is not.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, I\u2019m still banned from using the U.S. Masters community forum, which is the only place I can possibly discuss policy change with any other members,” Griffin said. “I\u2019m really upset about it because I was cleared of the wrongdoing, and I\u2019m still not allowed back in the one place where members can discuss the policy.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been silenced, basically,” she added. “The forum\u2019s the only way to reach other members around the country about policy issues.”<\/p>\n

Griffin emerged as a critic of USMS after competing against a transgender athlete<\/a> at the organization\u2019s 2025 Spring National Championship in San Antonio. Griffin previously said she did not learn the competitor\u2019s birth sex until after the meet.<\/p>\n

The controversy<\/a> prompted intense scrutiny of the organization\u2019s eligibility rules. USMS introduced an interim policy on July 1, 2025, before revising it again on Feb. 21, 2026.<\/p>\n

Under the current policy, swimmers may participate in the competition category corresponding with their gender identity or expression. However, swimmers seeking national recognition in the women\u2019s category\u2014including records, Top 10 rankings and All-American or All-Star honors\u2014must certify that they were female at birth.<\/p>\n

Local awards and scoring can be handled differently in jurisdictions with nondiscrimination laws<\/a> requiring recognition based on gender identity.<\/p>\n

Griffin contends the policy still fails to protect the women\u2019s competition category because it allows biological males to race directly against female swimmers, even when they are ineligible for certain national honors.<\/p>\n

She cited a recent Minnesota Masters state championship where she said a transgender athlete swept a women\u2019s age-group category. Griffin said many USMS members remain unaware of how frequently the organization\u2019s policy has changed or what its current rules allow.<\/p>\n

“One of my teammates who feels the same way I do about the policy was at a meet down south, and she was shocked that so many members, women and men alike, had no idea that they had changed the policy three times since last year, or that they were even still allowing men to swim against women,” Griffin said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
