AG Jason Miyares conducted an investigation into the school and the findings were released by complainants.
Miyares alleges that Roanoke College denied the biological female swimmers 'accomodations, advantages, and privileges on the basis of sex, caused the women emotional, physical, and dignitary harms, and violated the Virginia Human Rights Act.'
Roanoke College 'categorically denies the unsubstantiated allegation that its trustees, faculty, staff, coaches, or administration violated the human rights of any students or retaliated against them in any way,' the school said in a statement provided to Daily Mail Sport.
Miyares suggested the biological female swimmers are eligible to seek financial damages. While there is no recorded instance of a school having to pay damages to biological women for competing with trans women, there are multiple lawsuits being litigated across the country over similar situations.
The male-to-female trans swimmer initially joined the team in 2023. However, after biological female swimmers met with the athletic director multiple times to voice complaints and multiple letters to the school's administration were written, the trans athlete in question withdrew from the team.
