Basketball Australia rejects Lexi Rodgers’ application to join the national women’s competition

Basketball Australia has rejected a transgender athlete from joining the competition.

Lexi Rodgers’ application to join the women’s semi-professional basketball league has been denied.

In a statement, Basketball Australia says a panel convened by the governing body had determined that Rodgers is “ineligible to play.”
