The University of British Columbia Thunderbirds football team has forfeited its entire 2011 season after it was found that it was fielding an ineligible player.
The player, defensive lineman Connor Flynn, had already completed his eligibility at the beginning of the season, after having played five years of junior football with the Vancouver Trojans before being recruited to UBC in 2009. According to a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) statement, UBC “self-disclosed” the violation and co-operated fully with the investigation. It went on to say that the violation was unintentional.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association recently adopted a new policy for transgender athletes, but Canadian Interuniversity Sport and many other Canadian athletic associations are in no rush to do the same.
The NCAA’s policy states that any athlete who has testosterone in their system as the result of medical treatment cannot compete on a women’s team. The CIS, however, will likely not implement its own transgender policy any time soon. It is waiting for a set of guidelines from the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport on how best to include transgender athletes within their league.
